According to Fichajes, Pape Gueye is set to leave Villarreal to join Everton, with the player having reportedly reached a personal agreement with the Premier League club. The offer is for a fixed transfer fee of 28 million euros with an additional 5 million euros in variables. The deal is reportedly at an advanced stage but is still contingent on the final negotiations between the two clubs. Villarreal, who had sought an amount exceeding 40 million euros in the winter, are now reportedly accepting a realistic offer and are preparing to replace their defensive midfielder. Several clubs, including Galatasaray, had shown interest last winter. Gueye is under contract with Villarreal until June 30, 2028, and has an annual salary of 1,880,000 euros.

Everton have reportedly reached an agreement with Villarreal CF to transfer midfielder Pape Gueye for a deal that would be worth 28 million euros, plus 5 million euros in bonuses if the club qualifies for the Champions League, and various contributions.

TEAMtalk confirms that Pape Gueye is one of the options being considered by Everton and that the club's reported interest in him is genuine.

Everton is one of the clubs interested in Pape Gueye, a 27-year-old midfielder at Villarreal who has expressed a desire to join the Premier League. The Spanish club considers his transfer to be its main summer operation and will not sell him for a price below their expectations. In the previous winter transfer window, Villarreal rejected offers of more than €40 million from clubs in Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
