Everton are rivalling AC Milan for the signature of Fiorentina striker Nikola Kalinic, reports Sky Italia, via Football Italia.
Kalinic is desperate to leave the Viola this summer and has reportedly already agreed personal terms with big summer spenders Milan.
Vincenzo Montella’s side have not managed to negotiate a fee with Fiorentina and now face stiff competition from Everton, who are interested in handing the 29-year-old a way back to the Premier League.
The Croatia international spent two years at Blackburn where he made no impression whatsoever before eventually moving to Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in 2011.
Kalinic joined Fiorentina in 2015 where he has really kicked on and Everton are reportedly ready to launch a €25m (£22.6m) bid to sign him.

Having sold Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United, Ronald Koeman wants another striker this summer having already re-signed Wayne Rooney and landed Malaga frontman Sandro Ramirez.
Kalinic has scored 27 goals over the last two Serie A campaigns. However, of Serie A players that have scored at least 15 times in that period, Kalinic has the worst big chance conversion rate (31%).
