Everton have reportedly 'cooled' their interest in Udinese defender Rodrigo Becao.
The Blues have continued to be linked with the Brazilian defender in recent months, who helped his current employers enjoy a stunning start to the Serie A season after winning six of their opening eight fixtures.
Under contract until 2024, Becao has caught the eye of clubs after a string of strong displays that have driven up his transfer value. Frank Lampard's side were said to be part of the conversation, but Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has offered a fresh update on Everton's alleged pursuit of the player.
