Everton offered chance to sign Franck Ribery?

Everton have reportedly been offered the chance to snap up ex-Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery on a free transfer.

The 36-year-old former French international left the Bavarian club, where he made more than 400 appearances in a 12-year spell, earlier this summer and is currently without a club.

Everton are believed to have been informed that the winger would be open to a move to Goodison Park, despite currently considering offers from America and Asia and being a target of Italian side Fiorentina.

90min.com reports that, although Toffees owner Farhad Moshiri is keen to bring big-name players like Ribery to the club, manager Marco Silva is unsure as to whether he would be an appropriate addition to his squad.

Should the former Marseille winger make a move to Merseyside, he would probably have to take a pay cut, as his final salary at Bayern was more than £25,000 a week higher than that picked up by Everton's top earners.
