Everton Are In The Race For This La Liga Defender: Do They Really Need To Spend €25M?

Everton, Brighton, and Sunderland are all keeping tabs on CA Osasuna defender Enzo Boyomo, according to Diario de Noticias de Navarra, via Sport Witness. The 24-year-old Cameroon international has a €25m release clause, and local sources claim at least some of these English sides are ready to pay up, though the report doesn’t specify which ones.

Ipswich Town and Italian club Como are also in contention; Sport Witness noted last month that Ipswich even sent a scout to watch Boyomo in person. That same scout was back in the stands against Barcelona last weekend. With Sunderland recently clinching promotion back to the Premier League this season, the race for his signature is getting crowded.

Osasuna, sensing the growing buzz, are already worried about losing him and have started looking for replacements. Any deal hinges on a club meeting his full release clause, a detail also confirmed by AS. Transfermarkt currently values Boyomo at €20m, and he’s under contract until 2029 with the agency All Iron Sports. So far this season, he has clocked 2,305 minutes over 27 games, including a start in the Copa del Rey.
