Everton is interested in Christ Inao Oulaï and is closely monitoring the 20-year-old Ivorian international midfielder's situation. The Toffees are not the only Premier League side in pursuit; Nottingham Forest and Brentford have recently positioned themselves, and Chelsea, Sunderland, and Fulham also remain attentive. Interest in the former Bastia player, who has 13 caps for his country, also comes from outside England, with Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, and RB Leipzig also observing him.
In the 2025/2026 Süper Lig season, he made 25 appearances, scoring 2 goals and providing 4 assists. The directors at Trabzonspor have not yet received a concrete proposal for the player, whose contract runs until 2030 and who is valued at an estimated 23 million euros. Chelsea reportedly had a €40 million bid rejected in January 2026. For much of the first half of 2026, Trabzonspor's asking price was reported to be at least €50 million. Trabzonspor signed Oulaï from Bastia in August 2025 for a reported €5.5 million.
