Vogel will only be allowed to make his desired move to Goodison once he has reached a settlement with Real Betis, while the La Liga outfit having again hinted they want to be compensated for the player’s exit.
Everton are under the impression the 30-year-old Switzerland midfielder is available on a free transfer, but Betis president Manuel Ruiz de Lopera now claims the Spaniards will have the final say on Vogel’s destination.
“He is transferable and there are options for him to go to another club,” said de Lopera. “We have requests for him, everyone would like to loan him – but we want to sell.
“Betis cannot be held to ransom, his representatives say he does not want to move to a club he does not like – but he cannot choose because he has a written contract and will go where Betis says.”
