Lille are having a few issues negotiating to secure Andre Gomes from Everton permanently.

The French side are desperate to keep the Portuguese midfielder after he impressed last season on loan.

However, Le 11 Lillois states that a deal must be financially tenable for Lille.

The 29-year-old has a big salary that is beyond most French clubs, as he was their highest earner last year even after Everton agreed to pay half his salary.

Gomes could also move to another team, as Celta Vigo in Spain are monitoring his progress.

The midfielder started brightly when he moved to Everton several years ago, but a major injury derailed his career.
