Everton and Chelsea are in talks that are close to completion over a permanent transfer for winger Tyrique George after his loan spell at Everton. Multiple outlets report that the clubs have reached an agreement in the region of £24m to £30m, with the final structure depending on add-ons. One report states Everton would pay Chelsea an initial £18m, with a further £6m potentially due via add-ons. Other coverage puts the deal at £25m or up to £30m, also including add-ons.
The move is described as subject to standard conditions, including Tyrique George agreeing personal terms with Everton and passing a medical. Some reports suggest the negotiations could still be concluding this week, indicating the transfer is not yet fully finalised at the time of publication in certain outlets.
The Guardian also notes George played for Everton on loan last season, making 11 appearances after joining in February, and that an option to sign him permanently for £25m was included in the loan agreement but was not activated. Everton’s interest continues as they seek to finalise a permanent contract.
