Midfielder Milton Delgado from Boca Juniors is reportedly on the radar of multiple clubs, with Everton expressing significant interest.
According to SportsBoom, the Toffees could face competition from Crystal Palace. Additionally, Italian champions Inter Milan are keeping an eye on his situation. It remains to be seen if Everton can finalize a deal.
The anticipated transfer fee for Delgado is approximately €17.2 million, which could be viewed as a cost-effective acquisition for Everton. Moreover, Chelsea has also been linked with Delgado in recent months.
Everton Seeking Midfield Reinforcements
Everton aims to enhance their midfield capabilities, and 20-year-old Delgado could provide the much-needed physicality and defensive support. His technical skills are well-suited for high-level competition, and regular playing time in the Premier League could allow him to excel.
With a talented roster, Everton is determined to push for European qualification in the upcoming season, making continuous improvements to their squad essential.
Crystal Palace’s Interest in Delgado

Crystal Palace is also interested in strengthening their midfield, viewing the 20-year-old as a potential long-term asset. His partnership with standout midfielder Adam Wharton could bolster the team’s performance. Wharton has been impressive, yet additional support in midfield is necessary.
If they can secure Delgado’s signature, the Eagles would benefit from his potential growth. After recently winning the FA Cup and Community Shield, and reaching the final of the UEFA Europa Conference League, their pursuit of Delgado could be worth it; a win in that final would mean Europa League qualification next season, making them an appealing option for prospective players.
The future of Milton Delgado remains uncertain, and it will be intriguing to see where he will land.
