Everton fans react to reports of AC Milan holding talks with Djibril Sidibe

Le10 Sport has claimed that Everton loanee Djibril Sidibe held talks with AC Milan less than a month ago.

There is no indication that the man on loan from Monaco intends to leave the Toffees this month.

Talks did take place, however, with San Siro chiefs and it would appear they have a tentative interest.

The 27-year-old was in poor form under Marco Silva who signed him in the summer. Since the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti, however, his form has improved.

Everton do hold an option to sign Sidibe for £12 million but it would seem that discussions have taken place with other clubs.

It’s anticipated the talks took place when Sidibe wasn’t in the best of form and at this moment in time the player looks settled.

If his current purple patch is anything to go by it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that Everton will sign him.

With AC Milan clearly holding an interest Everton might be wise to pounce given the small transfer fee, avoiding missing out on him at a later date.

Sidibe has played 17 games for the Toffees, playing mainly as a right-back but also as a makeshift right-winger on occasions.

Everton fans remain undecided on his future, however. Some think this is a ploy from his agent to tempt Everton into a sale, others would prefer other players to be given a go in his position.

Here is a selection of tweets from Everton fans regarding the future of Sidibe.
