English Premier League side Everton has shown interest in Ghana midfielder Iddrisu Baba in the January transfer window
The midfielder has been a long-time target of Everton manager Rafael Benitez, who came close to signing him during his time at Real Madrid.
However, the deal fell through after a misunderstanding between Los Blancos and his representatives.
He was later identified as a replacement for Thomas Partey at Atletico Madrid but Real Mallorca inserted a new clause in his contract making him expensive for the Rojiblancos.
Baba signed a new deal with a release clause of 45 million euros.
Everton is ready to trigger that amount to have the Ghanaian at Merseyside in January as they make further enquirers about the availability of the Ghanaian midfielder
Meanwhile, Real Mallorca is considering South African Njabulo Blom as a replacement for the Black Stars midfielder should he leave.
Baba Iddrisu netted his first goal for Real Mallorca over the weekend in the 1-1 draw against Cadiz.
