Everton have been handed a major boost in their pursuit of Samuel Lino, with reports in Spain confirming Atletico Madrid are open to selling the Brazilian winger this summer.
The Samuel Lino Everton transfer links have gained traction after AS revealed that Los Rojiblancos are ready to cash in on the 25-year-old wide man — just as Everton intensify their search for a dynamic left-sided attacker.
With Jack Harrison and Jesper Lindstrom not returning for the 2025/26 campaign, David Moyes is eager to bolster his squad with more pace and creativity on the flanks. And Lino, who has impressed in flashes during his time at Atletico, now looks like a viable summer target.
Why Lino Fits What Moyes Wants
Samuel Lino has made almost 100 appearances for Atletico Madrid since arriving from Gil Vicente in 2022. Known for his pace, direct dribbling and versatility, the Brazilian would offer Everton a much-needed outlet out wide.
“He brings verticality, stamina, and attacking width — Lino is the kind of winger who can stretch any defence,” said a Spanish analyst. — Diario AS
Samuel Lino – Career Stats at Atletico Madrid
| Competition | Appearances | Goals | Assists | Minutes Played |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| All Competitions | 97 | 12 | 16 | 6,205 |
Will Atletico Madrid Sell?
According to AS, Atletico are actively searching for a new winger this summer — a sign they are prepared to let Lino leave if the right offer arrives.
While no fee has been set publicly, Atletico’s openness to negotiate puts Everton in a strong position. The Spanish side have also had positive dealings with Premier League clubs in recent windows.
Analyst Verdict
Samuel Lino may not be a superstar name, but tactically, he fits what David Moyes craves in a wide player.
He’s direct, hardworking, and presses with real intent — traits essential in a side that plays on the transition. His ability to hug the touchline or cut inside gives Everton flexibility depending on the system: whether it's a flat 4-4-2 or a 4-2-3-1 with inverted wingers.
There are rough edges to his game — decision-making under pressure and final delivery can be inconsistent — but at 25, there’s still time to refine. In a mid-table Premier League side with counter-attacking DNA, Lino might just thrive. And with Atletico Madrid prepared to sell, this could be a rare opportunity to land a proven La Liga contributor without breaking the bank.
Key Insights

What’s Next?

Should Everton go all-in for Samuel Lino — or hold out for a younger, cheaper wide option?
