Diogo Leite could be set for a new club as active negotiations between Everton and Union Berlin are ongoing over a potential transfer - with multiple reliable sources confirming the story. The defender is seen as the perfect addition to their squad as they look to strengthen a key area of the pitch, with unconfirmed reports suggesting that talks are underway. While discussions are reportedly still in their early stages, there is increased optimism that a deal could be reached in the coming days. Everton are still pushing to finalise terms. However, Besiktas, Frankfurt and R. Sociedad are still watching closely and may return with offers of their own. Across the season 25/26, Everton have let in 46 goals in 36 (1.28 per game), roughly in line with the Premier League average. Diogo Leite would be expected to give them some extra stability and depth for the tougher stretches of the season. Speculation continues to connect Everton with Conor Gallagher, Milton Delgado and Liam Delap while no fresh rumours surround Union Berlin. Want more transfer rumours like this?
