Everton join Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth in race for Colombian – €20m January deal possible

Everton, Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth are all tracking Colombian midfielder Andrés Gómez at Vasco da Gama, with a €15–20m deal possible in January.

Three Premier League clubs are competing to sign Vasco da Gama's Andrés Gómez. Bournemouth have made the most progress, having contacted the Brazilian club in recent weeks to discuss scouting information and transfer fees. Everton and Nottingham Forest have made enquiries but have not yet entered detailed negotiations.

Vasco's financial position has improved following investment from Marcos Lamacchia, meaning the club are under less pressure to sell and can afford to be patient. Gómez's contract runs until January 2031, removing any urgency from that angle. The Brazilian club expect offers in the €15–20m range, with their desired figure at the upper end.

Vasco have indicated they would not resist a deal that works for all parties, but their improved finances mean they can now afford to reject offers that don't meet their valuation—a contrast to their situation when Bournemouth signed Rayan earlier in the year.
