Everton director of football Marcel Brands has suggested that the Toffees will not be bullied into paying over the odds for Mexico star Hirving Lozano.
According to the Liverpool Echo, Marco Silva holds an interest in the current PSV man. However, Brands has suggested that the club will not be paying the extortionate fees that have been reported elsewhere.
Talking to Voetbal International, he said: “I think that if Hirving Lozano and Steven Bergwijn go directly to the absolute top in the Premier League, they will have it very difficult.
“Of course Lozano and Bergwijn are interesting players, but €30m for Hirving and €20m for Steven, we will not pay that. We have indeed paid a lot of money for Richarlison, but he is 21 years old and has already shown it in the Premier League.
“He is likely to deliver double (that amount if sold). I do not know yet with Lozano and Bergwijn.”
Brands was a figure in Lozano penning a six-year contract with the Dutch outfit following his arrival from Pachuca. Since then, the 23-year-old has made 60 appearances for the club, scoring 33 goals and providing 19 assists.
Lozano will take to the field on Friday as top of the table PSV take on AZ Alkmaar. Mark van Bommel’s men are currently at 4/5 with William Hill to win the Eredivisie.
