SkyBet reports that Ross Barkley could be set for a return to Goodison Park this summer, with Everton favourites to re-sign the midfielder. 

The 27-year-old left the Club in 2018 for Chelsea and is currently spending the season on loan at Aston Villa where he has made 26 appearances. 

Fichajes.net writes the Blues are keen on offering a two-year loan deal to Real Madrid right-back Alvaro Odriozola. 

The Spaniard has been out of favour since joining Los Blancos and was unable to establish himself as a regular while out on loan at Bayern Munich last season, where he won the Champions League.

The Toffees are reportedly open to discussing the terms of the deal that could lead to signing the 25-year-old on a permanent deal at the end of the 2022/23 season. 

Another report from Fichajes.net suggests that Everton are interested in Juventus' Juan Cuadrado. 

The Colombian has spent the past six years in Italy and has one year left on his deal with the Turin club. 

According to their source, Carlo Ancelotti is a fan of the full-back and has made an offer for him to return to the Premier League.

The Express claims the Club are currently scouting Wolfsburg winger, Josip Brekalo. 

The 22-year-old has bagged seven goals and three assists this season in the Bundesliga. 

The report states Everton originally attempted to sign the Croatian back when he was 17-years-old while at Dinamo Zagreb. 

The Blues will now have to compete with the likes of Leeds United, Bayern Munich and Napoli in the race for his signature.
