Former Italian international goalkeeper Francesco Toldo could leave Inter for Everton in January, according to reports.
The 34-year-old has today been linked with a Premiership switch following a series of New Year moves for a number of shot-stoppers in Serie A.
The most significant move is that of Antonio Chimenti who has penned a two-year deal with Cagliari after he left Juventus.
The arrival of Chimenti seems to have closed the door on Fabian Carini who is on loan at the Sant’Elia from Inter.
The Uruguay international could therefore be recalled to the San Siro as back-up for current first-choice Julio Cesar.
Such a switch would relegate Toldo to No 3 and with his contract set to expire in the summer, he may be sold immediately for a small fee.
Everton have been paired with the goalkeeper who was undoubtedly the best custodian during Euro 2000 when Italy finished as runners-up.
Toldo has rarely featured in the games that matter so far this season, having made just one appearance in Serie A, one in the Champions League and two in the Coppa Italia.
Meanwhile, Sampdoria are said to have made Everton a £3m bid for striker Marcus Bent. The Italian club are after a forward after Emiliano Bonazzoli was ruled out for the season.
