Everton in talks with Manchester United over a permanent deal for Marcos Rojo
Everton are looking to bring in Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo before today's transfer deadline.
According to Sky Sports News, Rojo was at Manchester United's Carrington training ground earlier to discuss an exit.
United's acquisition of Harry Maguire from Leicester City for £85 million has pushed Rojo further down the pecking order at Old Trafford.
Everton are keen to sign a central defender following the news that last year's loanee Kurt Zouma will be staying at Chelsea at Frank Lampard's request.
