The report suggests Lopes will be available for a fee in the region of €25million to €30million, with Monaco looking to offload the Portugal international amid the imminent signing of Toffees forward Henry Onyekuru.

Lopes signed for the Ligue 1 side from Manchester City in a reported £10million move in 2015, and has impressed with 21 goals and 14 assists in his 81 appearances in all competitions.
