Fulham is poised to pursue Everton’s Demarai Gray as they anticipate a significant financial boost from a potential player sale.
The 27-year-old winger, hailed by Rio Ferdinand as an ‘unbelievable find’ during the last season, has emerged as a top target for Marco Silva’s Fulham this summer. Gray’s exceptional skills and versatility make him an attractive option as the Cottagers look to bolster their attacking options. Given his impressive performances, the possibility of him joining Fulham has sparked considerable excitement among fans and pundits alike.
Reports indicate that Fulham is keen on acquiring Gray, particularly if they finalize the sale of Serbian forward Aleksander Mitrovic. The potential transfer of Mitrovic could pave the way for Gray’s arrival, as the club aims to reinvest the funds wisely in strengthening their squad.
Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal has allegedly made a lucrative offer of £46 million for Mitrovic, who has the chance to form a partnership with Brazilian superstar Neymar, following Neymar’s recent high-profile transfer from PSG for £77.6 million. This cash influx could provide Fulham with the financial resources necessary to pursue their interest in Gray.
According to the Daily Mail, should Fulham secure this windfall, they would be eager to channel those funds into acquiring Everton’s Demarai Gray, who has also been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League recently. This scenario highlights the dynamic nature of the transfer market and how quickly player movements can unfold.
Demarai Gray’s Absence Signals Potential Transfer to Fulham
Demarai Gray’s absence from Everton’s opening Premier League match last weekend has raised eyebrows and intensified speculation regarding his future. The Toffees faced a disappointing 1-0 loss against their opponents, despite creating numerous scoring opportunities. Unfortunately, their inability to convert chances proved detrimental as Fulham capitalized on a second-half strike to take all three points.
In light of this defeat, Everton has secured the services of Jack Harrison from Leeds United on a season-long loan. Although Harrison is currently sidelined due to injury, his acquisition may indicate that the club is preparing for Gray’s potential departure. This strategic move suggests that Everton is planning for life without Gray, who has been a subject of transfer interest.
Having initially signed the Jamaican international for a mere £1.7 million in the summer of 2021, Everton stands to gain a substantial profit if they decide to sell Gray. His track record has been marked by inconsistency, yet he possesses the ability to score spectacular long-range goals that can change the course of a match. However, concerns arise about whether his work ethic aligns with the demands of manager Sean Dyche’s playing style.
