Report: Champions League club eye Everton star Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Carlo Ancelotti is eyeing a stunning raid on Everton to take Dominic Calvert-Lewin to Real Madrid with him, according to reports.

The 24-year-old scored 21 goals for the Toffees last season, registering four assists too.

He earned rave reviews for his efforts and is currently part of England’s squad at Euro 2020.

Calvert-Lewin has been described as the complete striker by Ancelotti previously and he’s keen to reunite with him.

Everton were stunned when the Italian walked out of Goodison Park to make a return to Los Blancos.

Calvert-Lewin has been at Everton since 2016 and is making quite the name for himself.

In 173 outings for the club, he’s found the net on 53 occasions, with 15 assists made in the process.

The Toffees will have little desire to sell and the striker could be valued in excess of £60 million.

Real Madrid don’t come knocking every day though and Everton will have their valuation of the talisman.

Calvert-Lewin earns £72,000-a-week at Goodison Park and he’d likely earn considerably more at the Bernabeu.

Everton won’t want to lose their prized asset but a move to play Champions League football might tempt the player.

A chance to link-up with Ancelotti again could prove another attractive proposition for the England man.

Calvert-Lewin to Real Madrid: Everton must show ambition

The Toffees will have designs on reaching Europe themselves. In order to that, their best players must remain in place.

Everton have the right to demand a hefty valuation for their striker. As a result, Madrid could end up looking elsewhere.

Calvert-Lewin will need convincing though. He will have ambitions of his own and Everton have to start matching them.

If the club doesn’t improve and climb the league table in the next year or two, then Calvert-Lewin will start to look elsewhere.

For now, Everton should stand firm.
