Paris Saint-Germain has made Idrissa Gana Gueye their priority transfer target and talks with Everton have reportedly taken place.
L’Equipe claim the two clubs began negotiations last week and that PSG coach Thomas Tuchel has spoken to the 29-year-old Senegal international to outline his plans for him.

That would suggest a deal could be done this month, although the same report claims Everton have suddenly increased their asking price for Gueye from 20m to 30m euros.
Gueye has started in 18 of Everton’s 22 Premier League matches this season and, although he had been happy to stay, has apparently had his head turned by the glamourous Parisiens, who boast one of the best forward lines in football.
Everton officials were reportedly in Paris in midweek to watch PSG’s Coupe de la Ligue defeat to Guingamp, which could suggest they have been keeping tabs on a player who could be used in part-exchange.
However, L’Equipe claim Gueye’s agent Pini Zahavi is already working on proposed replacements to offer Everton.
