Everton are ready to get into a bidding war with Inter Milan to sign Lorenzo Pellegrini, claims Calciomercato.

The Roma midfielder is a much wanted man this summer.

The 23-year-old has 14 goals in 24 games this season, and has been touted as one of the top players in Serie A.

Given Ancelotti's connections to the league, it is not a surprise he is interested in signing the player.

The source does not indicate the preference of the player.

But Everton would have a hard time convincing him to join them, given Inter are likely to be in the Champions League and fighting for the Serie A title next season.
