That’s according to the national press as transfer business prepares to ramp up across Europe following the end of the Euro 2020 championships tonight.

The Mirror report: “Rafa Benitez risks upsetting the Newcastle fans who idolised him if Everton make a £50million move for Toon talisman Allan Saint-Maximin.

“Former Liverpool manager Benitez has already caused a major stir with his hugely-controversial Goodison Park appointment.

“And sources close to the Spaniard’s camp say Saint-Maximin will be a target should ex-Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti – another admirer of the Frenchman – swoop to take Toffees’ Brazilian forward Richarlison to Real Madrid.”
