Everton are reportedly set to join the race for Torino midfielder Sasa Lukić, with the Blues' interest tipped to 'become stronger' very soon.
According to Torino Granata, Lukić's departure from Torino in January is a possibility as the midfielder weighs up his options. He is currently in Qatar representing Serbia in the World Cup, and the report suggests he is expected to make a decision upon his return to Turin.
Fellow Premier League outfit Leeds United have been linked with a move for the 26-year-old, but it is Jose Mourinho's Roma who are thought to be the preferred option - the Serie A outfit can offer a genuine step up in quality and the chance of European football.

Reports from Tuttosport (via TuttoMercatoWeb ) suggest Lukić is considering swapping to an international level agent in a bid to secure a move elsewhere. The midfielder angered supporters with statements about his 'great ambitions' in the summer, and Torino have said that the Serbian international will cost no less than €15million.
A dynamic central midfielder, Lukic enjoyed his most productive campaign for Torino last season, registering five goals and four assists in Serie A. So far this season, the 26-year-old has two goals from 12 league games.
He has been capped 32 times by Serbia and is expected to play an important role in any World Cup success over the next few weeks.
