Premier League clubs intensify pursuit of CA Osasuna defender Enzo Boyomo ahead of 2026/27 campaign
English clubs are prepared to trigger a €25m release clause for the 24-year-old centre-back, though Ipswich Town and Como remain in contention.
Significant transfer interest is mounting for CA Osasuna defender Enzo Boyomo as English clubs Everton, Brighton and Sunderland actively monitor the 24-year-old Cameroon international ahead of the 2026/27 season. Reports indicate that several Premier League sides are prepared to trigger the player's €25m release clause, although local sources have not yet specified which club is most likely to proceed.
The transfer market has become increasingly crowded with Ipswich Town and Italian side Como also identified as interested parties. Confirmation of Ipswich's involvement includes reports that a scout was dispatched to observe the defender in person, with the official reportedly present at Boyomo's recent match against Barcelona last weekend.
Osasuna, aware of the growing demand for their player, have already initiated a search for replacements to mitigate the risk of losing him. The club is currently weighing the implications of a departure, particularly as the player's contract remains valid until 2029 and he is represented by agency All Iron Sports.
Everton faces particular pressure to secure a competitive squad immediately upon opening their new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium for the upcoming campaign. With significant questions remaining regarding their centre-back options, the club is reportedly keen on Boyomo, who has accumulated 2,305 minutes across 27 games this season, including a start in the Copa del Rey.
However, the move represents a substantial gamble for any Premier League side. While Boyomo is accustomed to Osasuna's structured La Liga system and is valued at €20m by Transfermarkt, the physical demands and pace of English football would constitute a major jump in intensity.
Any potential deal hinges on a club meeting the full €25m release clause, a non-negotiable price point confirmed by AS. Everton specifically cannot afford another slow start, meaning they would be placing a heavy bet on a defender who has not yet been tested in English football.
