Everton are in talks to secure Granada goalkeeper Rui Silva to a pre-contract.

Estadio Deportivo says Everton are looking to sign Rui Silva on a pre-contract deal this month.

The Portuguese's contract is set to expire this summer, leaving him free to negotiate a pre-contract deal.

Real Betis had been believed to have won the race for his signature.

However, the transfer has not been finalised, and that he could still move elsewhere.

They claim Everton are interested and pushing to conclude a deal, with the Blues able to offer him a higher salary than the La Liga outfit.
