Everton set to miss out on Lille defender Gabriel Magalhaes after Napoli reach '£22m agreement' with French side over summer move

Everton could be set to miss out on summer transfer target Gabriel Magalhaes, with the defender seemingly poised to join Napoli from French side Lille.

Magalhaes has starred in a Lille side that finished fourth in Ligue Un this term, helping them secure Europa League football next season and he has been a long term target for Carlo Ancelotti.

However, Napoli have swept in to finalise an agreement with the French outfit over a deal worth £20million plus bonuses according to Footmercato.

The report also claims that the 22-year-old is also 'thrilled' to have agreed personal terms which will see him pick up an annual salary of £1,8m over five years.
