Everton are reportedly among several European clubs interested in signing Flamengo winger Samuel Lino, with the Brazilian attracting attention ahead of a potential return to European football.

According to an exclusive report from 4-4-2, Everton are keeping tabs on the 26-year-old, who has emerged as an attractive option for clubs looking to strengthen their attacking options.

AS Roma have already tested Flamengo’s resolve with a €25 million offer for the Brazilian, but the proposal was rejected. The Brazilian club consider Lino an important part of their plans and are reluctant to sanction his departure without a substantially improved bid.

Everton could face considerable competition for his signature, with Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Napoli also monitoring the situation.

Samuel Lino could be an ideal attacking addition for Everton

Lino could prove to be a useful signing for Everton as they look to improve their attacking quality. The Brazilian is primarily a left winger but can also operate on the opposite flank or in a more central attacking role.

His pace, dribbling ability and eye for goal make him an interesting option for the Premier League side. He has the technical quality to take on defenders in one-on-one situations and could offer Everton another dimension in the final third.

The 26-year-old also has valuable European experience, having previously represented Atletico Madrid and Valencia. A return to Europe could therefore be attractive, particularly if Everton can offer him an important role in their attacking setup.
