Exclusive: Everton 'Rejected' Swap Deal Involving £210,000-a-Week Trio

Everton turned down the opportunity to recruit Chelsea outcasts Axel Disasi and David Datro Fofana in a high-profile swap deal which would have seen Dominic Calvert-Lewin bring the curtain down on his Goodison Park career during the final stages of the summer transfer window, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

Although the Toffees' season has got off to a worrying start, having been consigned to a third consecutive defeat thanks to Bournemouth overturning a two-goal deficit last weekend, boss Sean Dyche was busy ahead of last week's deadline and ended up spending more than £42million on reinforcements.

Amadou Onana was the biggest name to leave Everton, thanks to completing a £50million switch to Premier League rivals Aston Villa as director of football Kevin Thelwell oversaw the Merseyside outfit's transfer business, and they were unwilling to sanction Calvert-Lewin's departure.

Calvert-Lewin was firmly on Chelsea's radar during the final stages of the summer window, according to GMS sources, but Everton did not entertain agreeing terms as their domestic counterparts were pushing to include Disasi and Fofana as part of the deal which would have seen the frontman head to Stamford Bridge.

The England international has entered the final months of his £100,000-per-week contract on Merseyside, meaning the Toffees are in danger of seeing him walk away as a free agent at the end of the season, and that resulted in the west Londoners being confident that they had spotted an opportunity to pounce without having to fork out a significant fee for his services.

But GMS sources have been informed that Everton were not interested in doing business with Chelsea when they took a brief look at Calvert-Lewin as a striker option because there was determination from the capital club to send Disasi and Fofana in the opposite direction instead of meeting his price tag.

The 27-year-old is one of the first names on the team sheet even though there are doubts over his long-term future, with him grabbing two goal contributions during the first three Premier League encounters of the campaign, and Dyche was keen to avoid being left with little time to secure a replacement.

GMS recently reported that Chelsea were unwilling to pay more than £12.5million for Calvert-Lewin if a cash deal would only be considered on deadline day, with them using Federico Chiesa's move to Liverpool after entering the closing stages of his Juventus contract as a yard-stick for his valuation.

GMS sources have been told that Chelsea were particularly hopeful of tempting Everton into sanctioning a deal which would see Disasi and Fofana embark on a fresh challenge at Goodison Park because they do not feature at the forefront of head coach Enzo Maresca's plans.

The Italian tactician has wasted no time in making his mark at Stamford Bridge, having been appointed as Mauricio Pochettino's successor, and the duo were on the market as the Blues were keen to get their combined salaries of £110,000-per-week off their wage bill during the latter stages of the transfer window.

But Everton had already brought in a fresh centre-back option in the form of Jake O'Brien - thanks to reaching a £17million agreement with Lyon in July - resulting in Disasi not being a primary target, and Fofana has struggled to show that he would be an able replacement for Calvert-Lewin as a first-choice marksman.

Came, did nothing and left. Great scouting.

I think there are clearly players who are brought with a view to churn through the loan system and makes small profits on, with a potential they explod.

I am fine with Angelo type buys, he hasn't really cost us anything - although there is a danger someone like Washington is going to just get lost in the system, but that is another conversation.

The bigger problem for me is when we get Disaster and Sanchez level players to play in the first team.

Still can't believe we funded Brighton's transfer window by signing three of their players for around 200 million (GK, LB, CM). 

I don't see us getting out of Disasi's contract unless a Saudi side needs a defender...😆

Was never a fan of the player--good physical player with incredible acceleration and power--but not really my cup of tea.

Still, something seems off with him, and/or his agent. Maybe I don't know the whole story, but did he not sign a new deal not that long ago (in 23)?

Murillo

Despite Tosin Adarabioyo having already arrived this summer and the returning Wesley Fofana acting like a new signing, the club still wished to bolster the position of centre-half after Thiago Silva's departure.

Nottingham Forest enforcer Murillo was reportedly at the top of Chelsea's list regarding new centre-back signings, and a bid rising to over £50m was allegedly put forward.

Yet, Forest didn't budge on selling their star defender, and the window closed before the Blues could seal the deal - as Chelsea seemingly settled for their current defensive cohort.

Murillo has played every minute of Forest's Premier League campaign so far, conceding just two goals as his side notched five points from a possible nine.
