According to a report by TEAMtalk, Anthony Caci is the subject of interest from Everton. The Toffees are keen on reinforcing their right-back options by signing a versatile wide player in the summer transfer window. So, the 27-year-old FSV Mainz 05 full-back has emerged as a target for the Merseyside outfit.
Meanwhile, the Frenchman is also a target for Fulham, with the Cottagers scouring the market for a right-back heading into the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, Mainz 05 will demand less than €10 million to part ways with Caci, with a summer exit from the Bundesliga club possible.
Anthony Caci has come leaps and bounds since joining FSV Mainz 05 from RC Strasbourg in July 2022. The versatile French full-back spent his formative years in his homeland, passing through the academies at SO Merlebach, ES Petite-Rosselle, Etoile Naborienne, and SG Marienau before graduating from the youth division at RC Strasbourg.
The 27-year-old has gone from strength to strength in the last three years, establishing himself as one of the most underrated wide players in the Bundesliga. Caci has turned out over 100 times thus far for Mainz while chipping in with five goals and 13 assists. Meanwhile, the player’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs, including Everton and Fulham.
Anthony Caci has been on Fulham’s radar for a long time. The Cottagers are keen on reinforcing their wide options in the summer transfer window as they prepare to part ways with Kenny Tete as a free agent. So, the Mainz full-back has emerged as a viable target for Fulham, and he can also be a backup option for the left-back berth.
As for Everton, Ashley Young is leaving the Merseyside club as a free agent. In addition, Seamus Coleman is in the twilight of his career. So, Everton must sign a new right-back, with Caci an option worth considering. However, the 27-year-old Frenchman will not cost a bomb, with the Bundesliga club likely to demand less than €10 million to part ways with him.
Mainz’s valuation should suit Everton and Fulham. However, it is unclear if the two Premier League clubs will pay around €10 million to sign the French defender in the summer transfer window. So, it will be interesting to see if Caci moves to England in the coming weeks.
