Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt will demand around €20 million to sell 23-year-old French midfielder Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe amid his links with Everton over a late move.
According to a report by BILD, as relayed by Sport Witness, Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe is the subject of interest from Everton. The Toffees are keen on reinforcing their midfield department before the summer transfer window shuts down. The Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder has thus emerged as a target, with the Bundesliga outfit demanding around €20 million to part ways with him.
Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe and his struggles at Eintracht Frankfurt
Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe has struggled to stamp his authority since joining Eintracht Frankfurt from Paris Saint-Germain. The Bundesliga club signed the Frenchman on an initial loan deal from Paris Saint-Germain in August 2022 before completing a permanent move last summer.
The 23-year-old was a regular for Eintracht Frankfurt in his first two seasons at the club, although he was not the undisputed first-choice starter. Dina Ebimbe played across the midfield unit, showcasing his versatility. However, the player has not played a game for the Bundesliga outfit this season, as he is not in Dino Toppmoller’s plans.
Meanwhile, Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe’s situation has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe. A move to the Premier League might be on the cards, with Everton keen on securing the services of the versatile French midfielder before the summer transfer window shuts down.
Premier League move on the horizon?
Everton’s interest in Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe is understandable. The Toffees are keen on signing a versatile midfielder before the summer transfer window closes. While they have landed Tim Iroegbunam as the long-term replacement for Amadou Onana, they remain in the market for another midfielder.
Dina Ebimbe is thus a viable target for Everton, with the Merseyside club now learning Eintracht Frankfurt’s asking price. The Bundesliga club will demand around €20 million to part ways with the 23-year-old Frenchman before the summer transfer window shuts down.
The asking price should not be excessive despite Junior Dina Ebimbe’s struggles to make his mark at Eintracht Frankfurt. It will be interesting to see if Everton will cough up €20 million to sign the versatile French midfielder before Friday’s summer transfer deadline.
