Everton have reportedly offered to sign Villarreal attacker Boulaye Dia.
Dia is currently on loan at Italian club Salernitana, where he has enjoyed an impressive start to the season. The 25-year-old has scored four goals in just eight games, as well as providing two assists.
Now, according to Tutto Salernitana, Everton have offered between €15m and €16m to sign Dia, which is more than the purchase option he currently has in his loan deal with Salernitana.
The Italian club believe Dia is destined for bigger things, but with an option to buy they could turn a profit.

If Everton are willing to pay more than the reported €12m purchase option, then Salernitana could consider signing Dia on a permanent deal and instantly sell him to Everton.
However, moving to Goodison Park may not be the best idea for your development. The Senegal international will have to compete with Neal Maupay and Dominic Calvert-Lewin for a starting spot, while he is a regular at Salernitana.
Signing a striker probably shouldn’t be a major priority for Everton in the near future. The aforementioned players in Maupay and Calvert-Lewin are more than enough, but the pair are desperate for a little creativity around them to help their game.
