TA: Everton s offer of 40 million pounds for 19-year-old winger Dibring was rejected, Southampton asked for 50 million

According to The Athletic, Everton sought a £40 million offer to buy Southampton winger Dibring, but Southampton refused and asked for a total price of £50 million. The report said that after Everton made the latest offer of about £40 million, Southampton responded: asking for an easy-to-reach bonus clause of £45 million plus £5 million, with a 25% resale share clause.

However, this is beyond what Everton is willing to pay for the 19-year-old winger, and Southampton has been told that given the large valuation gap, Everton plans to turn its focus to other targets that are chasing simultaneously.

Southampton does not intend to lower the asking price, because they believe that Dibring is the best young English player on the market and a key figure in their return to the Premier League plan.

The England U21 international's contract with Southampton will last until 2027, and last season he ushered in a breakthrough year: he made a total of 38 appearances in various competitions, scored 4 goals and contributed 3 assists. And Everton's first offer this summer has been rejected. The report also stated that Everton is expected to remain active in the last few weeks of the transfer window, and they are currently negotiating with Chelsea for Hall's permanent transfer, with an initial transfer fee of £25 million.
