Everton Eyes "Powerful" Master Star After Alcaraz
In the aftermath of Yerry Mina’s departure to Alcaraz, Everton is keen to strengthen its defense by signing a "powerful" master star. The Toffees are reportedly interested in securing the services of Colombian international, José María Giménez, a towering center-back known for his aerial prowess and leadership qualities.
Giménez, who has been linked with several top European clubs, has been instrumental in Uruguay’s success in major international tournaments. His impressive displays have caught the attention of Everton’s scouts, who believe he would be an excellent addition to the team.
The 27-year-old has played for Atlético Madrid since 2013, helping the Spanish giants win the La Liga title, Europa League, and UEFA Super Cup. His versatility, defensive solidity, and goal-scoring threat from set-pieces make him an attractive prospect for Everton manager, Carlo Ancelotti.
Everton has been actively pursuing a new central defender since the departure of Alcaraz, and Giménez’s availability has presented a golden opportunity. The Toffees have already been linked with other targets, including Dayot Upamecano and Kalidou Koulibaly, but Giménez’s profile appears to be a better fit for the team’s defensive needs.
Giménez’s move to Everton could be facilitated by Atlético Madrid’s willingness to sell, following the arrival of new manager, Diego Simeone. The Spanish club has been busy restructuring its squad, and Giménez’s sale could help balance the books.
Everton is expected to face stiff competition from other Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur, for Giménez’s signature. However, Ancelotti’s ability to work with the defender and the team’s attractive style of play could give them an edge in the transfer battle.
The signing of Giménez would be a significant coup for Everton, boosting the team’s defensive capabilities and providing a solid foundation for a top-six finish in the Premier League. As the transfer window heats up, Everton fans will be eagerly anticipating the arrival of their new star signing, ready to make a powerful impact in the English top flight.
