      Everton could be plunged into further financial turmoil as Premier League rivals threaten £100m lawsuits

      But the Spanish giants are monitoring the midfielder’s situation closely.
      Everton will hope to generate an auction for Onana this summer.
      Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are all among the clubs to have him on their shortlist.
      The 22-year-old Belgian international arrived at Goodison Park from Lille for £33.5m after snubbing West Ham in August 2022.

      He instantly became a key player under Frank Lampard.
      And he remains an integral part of the Toffees team under Sean Dyche as they fight relegation.

      Onana is under contract at Everton until 2027 after penning a five-year deal upon his arrival.
      Man United boss Erik ten Hag is also still keen to revive interest in Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong.

      The Old Trafford club have been linked with a £120m double swoop for De Jong and Nou Camp team-mate Ronald Araujo.

      Everton ‘have ambitious loan transfer bid for former Ballon d’Or winner’s son REJECTED by Juventus’

      by

      EVERTON have allegedly failed with an audacious swoop to bring the son of a legendary Ballon d’Or winner to Goodison.Sean Dyche’s side are desperate for reinforcements as they battle for Premier League survival.

      They have already been hit with a ten-point deduction for breaching FFP rules and could face another six-point one over the coming weeks.
      They currently sit one point above the drop zone but will enter the bottom three should Luton win their game in hand.
      Despite the financial troubles at Everton, Dyche is still desperately attempting to bolster his squad for the relegation war.
      The Guardian claim that they submitted a loan for Juventus star Timothy Weah.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      The 23-year-old winger, who has 35 caps for USA, is the son of AC MIlan legend and ex-Chelsea striker George Weah.
      But he has no intentions at present of following in his father’s footsteps and heading to England.
      The report states that the player himself rejected the move to Everton despite him struggling for regular action with the Bianconeri this season.
      The ex-Lille and Paris Saint-Germain ace has mainly been deployed at wing-back and often restricted to cameos off the bench.

      However, he would rather stay and fight for his place at Juventus than join Dyche and Everon’s relegation battle.
      Juve are currently in top spot in Serie A and sit two points ahead of second-placed Inter Milan.
      That advantage could be stretched to five this weekend when the Old Lady travel to Inter for a crunch clash.
      Meanwhile, his 57-year-old dad George starred for a host of top European teams such as Monaco, Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan. 
      His success in France and Italy saw him win the Ballon d’Or in 1995 and he enjoyed brief stints in England with Chelsea and Manchester City.
      After retirement, Weah became a politician back in his homeland and served as the 25th president of Liberia from 2018 until last week.
      Elsewhere, Leeds have made an official loan approach for Everton’s Ben Godfrey.
      SunSport exclusively revealed Godfrey, 25, saw a £10m move to Serie A club Atalanta collapse as a result of the abolishment of favourable tax break rules in Italy.
      But Dyche has given the green light for the centre-back to leave Goodison Park as the club look to reduce their wage bill and help their case towards FFP rules. More

      Leeds launch loan transfer bid for Everton defender Ben Godfrey after £10m Atalanta move collapses

      But Everton boss Sean Dyche has given the green light for the centre-back to leave Goodison Park as the club look to reduce their wage bill and help their case towards FFP rules.
      The tax law, officially known as Crescita Decree, has been abolished.The law allowed high income earners from foreign countries a 50 per cent tax bill discount.
      Previously, it has been a big attraction for overseas players to join and increase the competitiveness in Serie A.
      The Crescita Decree is remarkably similar to the ‘Beckham Law’ in Spain, which allows high-income foreign earners to pay just 24 per cent income tax for their first six years in the country.

      Beckham took advantage of it following his move from Manchester United to Real Madrid in 2003.
      But the Italian equivalent no longer stands after discussions in the Italian Council of Ministers have led to the rule being binned, making Godfrey’s potential rule too expensive for Atalanta.
      Godfrey has struggled for game time this season and has made just three appearances in all competitions for Everton, including only one Premier League start.
      Godfrey, who has 18 months left on his deal, has made 80 appearances for the Toffees since signing from Norwich in 2020 for £25million.

      The Chelsea legend had to steer the ship during a challenging time for the Merseysiders both on and off the pitch but had help from an “amazing” veteran.
      And that was none other than Everton captain Seamus Coleman, 35, who always stood up for the club to motivate his players.
      Lampard specifically remembered how Coleman reacted after some scathing criticism from Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher, 45, during Monday Night Football.
      Carragher, who is a famous Everton fan despite spending his entire career playing for rivals Liverpool, said the players were “not good enough”.

      But the Republic of Ireland international would have none of it and issued a passionate rallying cry to urge his team-mates to not accept that which ultimately led to a major turning point.
      Lampard told The Overlap via Sky Bet: “Seamus is amazing.
      “What a player, I remember playing against him and I didn’t really appreciate it until I worked with him – at that point he was 33.
      “It wasn’t just what he did on the pitch it was what he did off the pitch – his standards, his humility, everything about him.

      “There’s not a bit of him that is not genuine, and he wore it on his face when we were struggling. He’d say, ‘I care’. He’d speak in front of the players on his own.
      “We spoke about you [Carragher] once at one point because you had a dig on Monday Night Football and said we’re not good enough – he used you as a reference point.
      “He was going, ‘Don’t accept that’. As players and managers we have to take some stick – but the only way to deal with it was to react to it.
      “It was a bit of a turning point for us – he was always the man to do that.” More
