Duván Zapata would change teams after five consecutive seasons. Frank Lampard would look for his signing to reinforce Everton’s offense to try to get out of the relegation zone for the remainder of the season. The striker comes from overcoming physical problems and lost his position in the starting lineup of Gian Piero Gasperini.
Sunday People assures that after the hard defeat at home against Southampton, Lampard analyzes variants for his squad for what is to come this year. One of the possible reinforcements that appears in the deck is that of Zapata with a loan from the Colombian with a purchase option of about 15 million dollars.
However, the English newspaper did not reveal what the Dea would think about this transfer since in Italy they assure that the only way for the Colombian to leave would be a future sale. “The Toffes are willing to partially open the door upon the arrival of the Colombian center forward. The management of the English club would like to base the negotiation on a transfer solution with a purchase option ”, they expressed in the media.
Zapata has lost prominence in Atalanta
There have been several factors that have affected the present of Duván Zapata in Italy. The first item is the constant injuries suffered by the attacker in the first half of the campaign. could only dispute 12 commitments and converted into an occasion.
