Report: Everton willing to let Sandro leave for free; but Eibar have problem

Eibar are keen to sign Everton striker Sandro Ramirez this summer, but Marca reports that the La Liga side face an issue as they try to land the 25-year-old.

Sandro has become a forgotten man on Merseyside. He has not played for the Toffees in a Premier League game since December 2017.

Instead, he has spent the majority of his time back on loan in Spain. And it appears that he could soon make a return to his home country.

According to Marca, Eibar want to sign the forward. And it is suggested that Everton are willing to let him leave on a free transfer.

However, there is seemingly quite a big stumbling block to clear before any agreement is reached.

Marca reports that Eibar can only afford to pay around a fifth of his current wages. It is noted that Sandro has not ruled out a potential move to the Gunsmiths, but Las Palmas are also keen.

TBR View: Everton will surely go extra mile to offload Sandro

Sandro’s move to Merseyside has not worked out for anyone. So it would surely be best for all parties if they could agree a permanent move for the forward this summer.

Spotrac shows that he earns £65,000-a-week at Goodison Park. So it would certainly be beneficial for Carlo Ancelotti’s men to move him on and get him off the wage bill.

It should not be a surprise therefore, if they are even willing to cover some of his wages following his next move.

Of course, trying to agree a deal with Eibar makes little sense if his demands remain high and they are only willing to cover a fraction of the cost.

But they are not the only club reportedly interested. So Everton will surely still hold out hope that they can find someone willing to take Sandro and cover the large majority of his wages.
