Everton Turn Down Lazio Approach for Tim Iroegbunam
Reports indicate Lazio may return with a higher offer before the deadline.
Overview
- The approach was rejected because the proposal did not meet Everton's valuation, and the fee offered was not disclosed.
- The claim originates from a Football Insider report for The Independent and is echoed by Grand Old Team and ToffeeWeb.
- Iroegbunam, 22, has played regularly this season with 17 league appearances and 11 starts, plus two in the League Cup.
- Coverage notes Everton's limited midfield options and suggests David Moyes is unlikely to sanction a mid-season sale.
- A figure of up to £15 million has appeared in fan discussion threads, but that number has not been independently verified.
