Everton approached Sunderland to sign their captain Dan Neil in January and could reignite interest. Everton's new owners, The Friedkin Group, are prepared to back David Moyes in the summer transfer window. Everton considered Neil in January but Sunderland weren't willing to listen to offers as they were in the middle of their promotion push. Sunderland would find it difficult to turn down a bid of £15m to £20m for Neil, but his suitors may wait and see if they can seal a cheaper deal once it’s clear whether Sunderland are going to be Premier League or not next season.

Everton have shown interest in Sunderland captain Dan Neil, a defensive midfielder who has been a standout performer this season. Neil has scored three goals and provided two assists in the Championship. His contract with Sunderland expires in 2026, and he could be available for £15m. Sunderland has not reached an agreement on a contract extension with him yet. The club aims to focus on their promotion hopes before engaging in transfer talks.

Everton is interested in Sunderland's 23-year-old midfielder Dan Neil, who is attracting attention from several Premier League clubs, according to TEAMtalk. Neil, a standout performer for the Black Cats, is on the radar of top-flight teams as Sunderland face potential player departures if they fail to secure promotion this season.
