FC Barcelona have contacted Everton over the possibility of signing Belgium midfielder Amadou Onana, according to reports.
Onana joined Everton from French club Lille for around £30million in August 2022.
The 22-year-old was strongly linked with a move to Arsenal before completing a switch to Goodison Park and the Gunners are reportedly still interested.
Mikel Arteta s side have continuously been linked with the former Lille man and are prioritising signing a new midfielder in the upcoming summer transfer window.
There is also strong interest coming from a little club in Catalonia called Barcelona.
