Authenticity (2.5/5): Everton keeping tabs on Sanchez

Everton are reportedly one of a number of clubs keeping a close eye on Galatasaray's Sanchez ahead of the summer transfer window.

According to Fanatik, the former Tottenham Hotspur defender is also attracting interest from Fiorentina and several Spanish sides.

Value (3.5/5): Galatasaray set Sanchez asking price

Galatasaray would rather retain Sanchez's services, but they will consider a potential sale if they receive a €20m (£17m) transfer offer.

Suitability (3.5/5): Previous Premier League experience

Sanchez, who joined Galatasaray in 2023, has been a regular fixture in Okan Buruk's side this season, having started all 38 of his competitive appearances this season, chipping in with five goals.

The centre-back has also had previous Premier League experience after making 143 top-flight appearances during his time at Tottenham Hotspur, although he sometimes failed to convince in the Spurs backline

Upgrade? (3.5/5): Keane replacement

Michael Keane is set to leave Everton when his contract expires at the end of the season. Sanchez could be a suitable replacement because he will add depth to David Moyes's central defensive options and is capable of challenging for a starting spot.

Logic (3.5/5): Sanchez keen to leave Galatasaray

Sanchez could be open to a Premier League return, having expressed a desire to leave Galatasaray in the summer transfer window.

Whisper+ verdict: 16.5/25

Sanchez could be a useful addition to Moyes's squad, although it seems that Everton's interest is only at the early stage, meaning there is considerable doubt as to whether they will pursue a transfer this summer.
