Everton intensifies pursuit of Man City's Rico Lewis this summer

Everton is increasing its interest in Manchester City defender Rico Lewis as they seek to strengthen their right-back position. With Seamus Coleman leaving and Nathan Patterson not solidifying his role, Lewis is viewed as a versatile addition, capable of playing multiple positions. His mobility and technical skills align with Everton's current needs. Reports indicate Manchester City is under no pressure to sell Lewis, whose contract runs until 2030, with a potential price tag of around £30 million. Everton would require a permanent transfer, as Premier League rules prevent two loans from the same club in one window.
