The club aren’t keen on paying his expensive release clause
Everton are reportedly interested in the potential signing of David Lopez from Espanyol.
The Spanish defender/defensive midfielder has already caught the eye of rival LaLiga clubs Valencia and Real Betis, but now there is English involvement in the race for his signature.
Lopez would be a versatile addition for Everton
According to Mundo Deportivo, the sticking point with a possible transfer will likely be Lopez’s release clause.
Espanyol are refusing to budge on the €40m (£35m) contractual fee, while all interested clubs are unwilling to pay such a hefty release.
