# Everton fans believe Juventus links to Sidibe are just “agents at play”

Juventus are monitoring Djibril Sidibe’s situation at Everton, according to [CalcioMercato](https://www.calciomercato.it/news/364798/calciomercato_juventus_rivoluzione_sulle_fasce_paratici_fiuta_l_occasione), and several Everton fans have thoughts on the situation.

The Frenchman joined the Blues on a season-long loan in the summer, with Everton possessing a permanent option in his contract, [said to be set at around £12.9million](https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/everton-confirm-loan-deal-for-world-cup-winner-sidibe/11yg054o82j1w1fwfriwvmq32i).

Despite starting the season behind Seamus Coleman, the 27-year old has slowly but surely replaced the Irishman as first choice right-back, [starting 15 times](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/10454/Show/Djibril-Sidib%C3%A9) in the Premier League.

Despite [Football Insider reporting](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-everton-in-pole-position-to-sign-27-yr-old-ancelotti-set-to-green-light-pursuit/) earlier this month that Carlo Ancelotti has given Everton the green light to sign Sidibe on a permanent basis, [CalcioMercato report](https://www.calciomercato.it/news/364798/calciomercato_juventus_rivoluzione_sulle_fasce_paratici_fiuta_l_occasione) that Juventus have emerged as another option for the defender.

[CalcioMercato](https://www.calciomercato.it/news/364798/calciomercato_juventus_rivoluzione_sulle_fasce_paratici_fiuta_l_occasione) claim that with Danilo having failed to impress the Bianconeri this season, Maurizio Sarri’s side are in the market for a new right-back, with the World Cup winner having caught their eye.

Reacting to this story on social media though, many Everton fans have been left dubious, with a number believing this could be the result of Sidibe’s agent looking to press Everton into making him an offer.
