# Everton linked with move for World Cup runner-up

Everton, Leicester, Monaco, Sevilla, Fiorentina and Sampdoria are all said to be interested in a deal to sign Juventus and Croatia winger Marko Pjaca.

[According to reports emerging from Italy](https://www.tuttojuve.com/), the 23-year-old is in demand as he looks set to leave Juventus.

Pjaca joined Juventus back in 2016 but has failed to break into the first-team squad during his time there.

He spent time on loan at Schalke last season is now once again being tipped to make a move away from Turin this summer.

Fiorentina were believed to be leading the race to sign the player this summer, with La Viola believed to be his preferred destination.

It is yet to be seen whether he will leave Juventus on loan or on a permanent basis this summer.

Pjaca was a member of the Croatia squad that reached the World Cup final in Russia, where they would go on to lose to France 4-2.
