Everton progressing in deal for Bayern Munich's Adam Aznou

Everton's pursuit of Bayern Munich defender Adam Aznou, with a potential transfer fee of around £7.87 million, could enhance their squad depth for the upcoming season. This might influence sports betting by making Everton a more attractive bet for better performance with a stronger defensive lineup.

Everton have made progress over a deal for Bayern Munich defender Adam Aznou. The Athletic reported in the Transfer DealSheet on Tuesday that Everton were interested in signing the left-back. Everton sources, speaking on the condition of anonymity to protect relationships, indicated a fee in the region of €9million (£7.87m, $10.6m at current conversion rates) was being discussed for Aznou.

Vitalii Mykolenko remains Everton’s only senior left-back following the departure of Ashley Young this summer, with Aznou seen as a more attacking option in that position. Aznou, 19, joined Bayern’s academy in 2022 from Barcelona and made his first-team debut for the German club in November 2024. The Morocco international has made four appearances for Bayern, including a substitute cameo in the 10-0 victory over Auckland City at the Club World Cup in June.

Aznou spent the second half of the 2024-25 season on loan with Real Valladolid, playing 13 times for the club that finished bottom of La Liga. Formerly a Spain youth international, Aznou made his Morocco debut in September 2024 and has earned six caps for his country.

David Moyes has strengthened his squad with the arrivals of Thierno Barry and Mark Travers this summer, while also signing Carlos Alcaraz permanently following his loan spell last season. The Merseyside club have also extended the contracts of Jarrad Branthwaite and Idrissa Gueye.

Speaking at a Men in Blazers event in New York on Friday, Moyes said Everton still needed “nine or 10 more” additions this summer. The club are still keen to strengthen on the wing and in central midfield.
