Everton has made a formal bid for PSV Eindhoven’s 21-year-old winger, Esmir Bajraktarević. The Toffees aim to finalize the deal before this summer’s World Cup, which could significantly inflate his price. Bosnian outlet SportSport reported the news, noting that Everton scouts were present during PSV’s 6-1 victory over PEC Zwolle.
Everton Pursues Bajraktarević with Firm Offer
Bajraktarević delivered an impressive performance in that match, scoring two goals and providing two assists. His standout display convinced Everton to submit a concrete offer, although the specific amount remains undisclosed as PSV has yet to respond.
Originally from the United States, Bajraktarević plays for Bosnia and earned the nickname “the Milwaukee Messi” while with the New England Revolution in MLS. After joining PSV in January 2025, he had a slow start but has since excelled this season with seven goals and five assists.
He is already regarded as a hero in his home country after scoring the decisive penalty against Italy, earning Bosnia a spot in the World Cup. Transfermarkt values him at €5 million, but PSV is expected to seek a higher figure. Additionally, Bournemouth, RB Leipzig, and AC Milan are monitoring his progress, prompting Everton to act quickly.
