Everton & Liverpool among Tello fans

Cristian Tello has around half-a-dozen clubs interested in taking him from Barcelona, with interest from La Liga and the Premier League.

Mundo Deportivo says Everton and Liverpool could fight it out for the winger, with Barca potentially interested in a deal also involving Luis Suarez, Liverpool’s Uruguay forward.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez would like Tello to follow on from Gerard Deulofeu, the Barca winger who spent last season on loan at Goodison Park.

Atletico Madrid, Valencia, Sevilla and Real Sociedad are understood to be Tello’s domestic suitors, with Porto, coached by former Spain Under-21 boss Julen Lopetegui, also in the running.

Valencia defender Jeremy Mathieu is wanted by Luis Enrique and Tello could be used as part of that deal.

The presence of Neymar on Barca’s left wing means Tello will have to leave to play regular football in the future, the report adds.
