Thierno Barry set for Everton medical after £27.5m transfer agreed
Thierno Barry is set to undergo a medical with Everton after the club reached a deal with Villarreal for the forward. The 22-year-old is moving closer to joining David Moyes’ squad after talks between the Blues and the La Liga side reached a conclusion.
As previously reported, negotiations had been ongoing for some time. By the middle of last week there was growing hope Barry would become the club’s second signing of the summer.
Work still needs to be done for the deal to be completed but a move is now looking increasingly likely, with the clubs having settled on a fee for the France Under-21s international.
Everton held extensive discussions with Villarreal last month, leading up to the breakthrough over a fee.
Join Ian Croll, Joe Thomas and Paul Wheelock as they discuss the latest news coming out of Everton Football Club.

Jarrad Branthwaite agrees new long-term Everton contract
Jarrad Branthwaite has committed his long-term future to Everton. The young defender has signed a new five-year contract with the club.
The centre-back was the subject of two failed bids from Manchester United last summer and has been attracting interest again early in the summer window. However, the Blues have secured a significant coup in keeping him tied down until 2030.
Branthwaite was named as the club's Young Player of the Year for 2024-25, having won the same award and the Player of the Year gong for 2023-24 after an excellent breakthrough season.
Join Ian Croll, Tony Scott and Paul Wheelock as they discuss today’s breaking news and the positive impact that will have on Everton moving forward.
