# Everton Could Sign Napoli’s Arkadiusz Milik for Discount Fee

Everton have been dealt a transfer boost after [reports emerged](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9064929/Napoli-demand-15million-Euros-Tottenham-summer-target-Arkadiusz-Milik.html) claiming that long-term Toffees target [Arkadiusz Milik](https://readeverton.com/2020/10/26/toffees-eye-move-for-prolific-polish-striker-arkadiusz-milik/) would be available for the bargain fee of just £13.5m in January.

The Poland international, who has managed to [score 112 goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/arkadiusz-milik/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/191891) in his senior career, has [fallen out of favour](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9064929/Napoli-demand-15million-Euros-Tottenham-summer-target-Arkadiusz-Milik.html) at current club Napoli and has been out in the cold for some time.

Gennaro Gattuso, who succeeded current Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti at the Stadio San Paolo, had [previously taken the bold step](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9064929/Napoli-demand-15million-Euros-Tottenham-summer-target-Arkadiusz-Milik.html) of excluding Milik from both Napoli’s Serie A and European squads.

The Everton boss has [previously hailed Milik](https://www.si.com/soccer/2019/01/21/napoli-boss-carlo-ancelotti-heaps-praise-sensational-arkadiusz-milik-2-1-win-over-lazio) as ‘sensational’ for his goalscoring talents. His [contract expires](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/arkadiusz-milik/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/191891) in the summer and he can sign a pre-contract agreement with a non-Italian club next month.

The *Partenopei* are [reportedly willing](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9064929/Napoli-demand-15million-Euros-Tottenham-summer-target-Arkadiusz-Milik.html) to ‘compromise slightly on the proposed £13.5m fee’, in the knowledge that non-Italian clubs could snap him up on a free at the end of the year. However, suitors such as Everton could be able to acquire his services and can pay the knockdown fee of just £13.5m in January.

To put that figure into perspective, his phenomenal goal record means that [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/arkadiusz-milik/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/191891) have valued him at £24.3m – and Milik is perhaps coming into the peak of his career at 26.

### Read Everton Verdict

In terms of his record with Napoli, Milik represents a potent option for any attack. He has scored [48 goals in 122 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/arkadiusz-milik/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/191891) for the Azzurri but is reportedly keen to leave as soon as possible in search of regular first team football.

He could provide strong and meaningful competition to Dominic Calvert-Lewin, although his acquisition would perhaps spell bad news for the likes of [Cenk Tosun](https://readeverton.com/2020/12/15/everton-should-not-play-cenk-tosun-ahead-of-calvert-lewin/) and [Moise Kean](https://readeverton.com/2020/12/09/readeverton-com-2020-12-09-moise-kean-juventus/) at Goodison Park.
