Everton to replace exit-bound star with Bundesliga magician chased by Newcastle, Crystal Palace
According to TEAMtalk, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham are among the clubs exploring offers for the promising Belgian midfielder.
The 22-year-old has made 28 Premier League appearances for the Toffees this season, and his likely exit will leave a gap in their squad.
Everton would most certainly have to split ways with Onana sooner rather than later, as they need to produce cash before filing their accounts for the season on June 30.
The 22-year-old has made 28 Premier League appearances for the Toffees this season, and his likely exit will leave a gap in their squad.
Kevin Thelwell, the club’s sporting director, has began scouting for potential successors for Onana, and Freiburg midfielder Merlin Rohl has surfaced as a possible candidate.
“Everton are hoping to sell Amadou Onana for big money to balance their books, possibly picking up a fee in excess of £50million,” Nixon wrote.
“Rohl is similar to Onana in size and style and a player on the rise for both club and country.”
Rohl, 21, is regarded one of the Bundesliga’s most promising young midfielders.
He has made 24 Bundesliga appearances for Freiburg this season, scoring two goals and assisting four times.
Standing at 6ft3, he is similar in size to Onana, who is 6ft4, and can play as a central or attacking midfielder as well as on the right wing, providing cover in a variety of positions for Sean Dyche.

With an estimated price tag of around £12 million, he may be a bargain addition to Everton. According to Nixon, the Toffees will face competition from Newcastle and Crystal Palace for his signature.
If Everton sells Onana this summer, as predicted, they are likely to make a bid for the Freiburg star.
