Barcelona have apparently put a 20m euros price-tag on the head of midfielder Andre Gomes, who is wanted by a host of clubs across Europe.
Everton appear to be in the box seat for the player who has been on loan at Goodison Park for the entire season and has become more influential as the campaign has progressed.
The Portuguese star is also wanted by clubs in Italy, with Lazio, Inter Milan and AS Roma all said to be keen to land him when the transfer window opens in the summer.
