Rumours linking Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford with a move to Mexican side Tigres have been firmly dismissed.
According to Capital Estado de México, there is no official interest from the Liga MX club despite widespread speculation on social media suggesting the England international could be heading to Mexico.
Social media rumours dismissed
The report states the transfer story gained traction online after claims emerged that Tigres were preparing a $16 million move for Pickford.
However, the publication insists there has been no official offer, no contact between the clubs and no credible reporting to support the speculation.
Instead, the rumours are described as a product of social media accounts and transfer content creators rather than genuine negotiations.
Everton have no plans to sell
The report also points out that a transfer would make little sense given Pickford's importance to Everton.
The goalkeeper recently signed a new contract and remains one of the key figures in David Moyes' squad.
Any deal would require a complex negotiation, both financially and sporting-wise, making a move highly unlikely.
Tigres focused elsewhere
Rather than pursuing a new goalkeeper, Tigres are reportedly prioritising other areas of their squad.
The Mexican club are currently concentrating their efforts on signing a new centre-forward, with no indication that Pickford features on their transfer shortlist.
Key Points
- Reports linking Jordan Pickford with Tigres have been dismissed.
- There is no official offer or confirmed interest from the Mexican club.
- The rumour reportedly originated on social media.
- Pickford recently signed a new Everton contract.
- Tigres are prioritising the signing of a striker instead.
What's next?
Jordan Pickford is expected to remain Everton's first-choice goalkeeper heading into the new Premier League season. Unless the situation changes dramatically, the reported move to Tigres appears to have no substance.
