Rabat — Everton Football Club has reached an agreement with Bayern Munich to sign the Moroccan international and the club’s left-back Adam Aznou.
The Toffees will pay an initial €9 million for the 19-year-old Morocco international, with another €3 million coming through add-ons, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported.
Aznou will undergo his medical in the next 24 to 48 hours after agreeing on personal terms with the Premier League club.
Manager David Moyes wants to strengthen his club’s left-back position and give competition to current starter Vitalii Mykolenko.
The signing represents The Friedkin Group’s first major move since taking over as Everton’s new owners this summer.
Bayern Munich’s Christoph Freund has called Aznou “exceptional,” but the teenager chose to leave the Allianz Arena to find more playing time.
The German champions agreed to let him go as he seeks regular first-team football.
Everton needed defensive reinforcements after several first-team players left when their contracts expired at the end of last season.
The club has moved quickly to address these gaps under its new ownership.
Aznou has accepted Everton’s project and looks forward to playing at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The deal now moves toward completion, with only the medical remaining before the transfer becomes official.
The signing shows Everton’s ambition under The Friedkin Group, who want to make an immediate impact in their first transfer window as owners.
Moyes will welcome the addition of a highly-rated young defender who can develop while providing depth in a key position.
