According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Everton is in negotiations with Parma for a last-minute move for Mandela Keita. The English club is expected to make a decision about the move shortly.

AS Roma and Everton are interested in Mandela Keita of Parma. According to Sky Sport, contacts are ongoing.

Sources state Everton are interested in Mandela Keita, and Idrissa Gueye is now out of contract. The Serie A side will not prevent his exit. Keita is a once-capped Belgium international, and reports in the Italian media claim a €30m (£26m, $34m) price tag has been set for him. All three sides, which include Leeds and Newcastle, are ready to make a move.

Sky Sports has reported that Everton has made concrete contact with both Parma and Mandela Keita's entourage. Parma is reportedly seeking a transfer fee of a minimum of 25 million euros, in addition to bonuses. It is also reported that Keita cost the Italian club 12 million in 2024.
