Everton plan swap offer for Salernitana striker Dia

Everton are considering using Neal Maupay in their negotiations to sign Boulaye Dia this summer.

The Toffees are determined to add a top striker to provide competition to Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Il Corriere dello Sport states they have settled on Salernitana striker Dia as an option.

The Toffees are so eager to secure his signature, despite their financial difficulties, that an exchange may be proposed.

Everton would offer cash and Neal Maupay as a way to get around paying a high fee.

Dia's release clause was worth around 25 million, but it is said to have expired on Thursday.
