Everton are reportedly interested in signing Udinese defender Rodrigo Becao.
According to a report via TuttoMercatoWeb, the 26-year-old Brazilian defender is on Everton’s radar as they look for defensive reinforcements in the coming months.
The likes of Yerry Mina and Michael Keane are expected to leave the club soon, and Frank Lampard will have to sign another centre-back.
Becao has done well at the Italian club, and could be a quality addition to the Toffees’ defensive line.
The report claims that Everton have already sounded out the defender regarding a possible move, and it remains to be seen if they can reach an agreement with Udinese now.
The defender has a contract with the Italian club until the summer of 2024 and Udinese could be under pressure to capitalize on him at the end of the season.
Everton have recently signed the likes of Conor Coady and James Tarkowski to boost their defensive unit, and signing Becao could be another smart move.
