Everton and Atalanta have both expressed interest in acquiring Parma's defensive midfielder, Mandela Keita, according to reports from insider Nicolo Schira. The Italian club is looking to secure a transfer fee in the range of €20-25 million for the talented player.

Keita's Background

Mandela Keita has been a part of Parma since August 2024, when he made the move from Antwerp for a fee of €11.9 million. His current contract with the club extends until June 30, 2029, indicating that Parma is keen to retain his services unless a suitable offer is made.

Interest from Premier League and Serie A

The interest from both Everton and Atalanta highlights Keita's growing reputation in European football. As clubs look to bolster their squads, the defensive midfielder's performances at Parma have caught the attention of top teams in both the Premier League and Serie A.

As the transfer window approaches, it remains to be seen whether either club will meet Parma's asking price for Keita, who has shown promise since joining the Italian side.
