Everton miss out on Simic

Everton have failed with a move for Dario Simic, according to the player's agent.

The Toffees have held a long-term interest in the Milan defender and tried to sign him last summer without success.

Simic has struggled to hold down a regular place in the Milan side over the last few seasons and Everton were believed to be keen to offer him a route out of the Giuseppe Meazza.

The Croatian's agent, Marco Naletilic claims Everton and Marseille expressed an interest in Simic, but that Milan have decided to reject all offers.

"The player has a contract with the Rossoneri until 2009," Naletilic told the Daily Star on Sunday.

"The defender had some interesting offers from Everton and Marseille, but after a chat, Milan directors Ariedo Braida and Adriano Galliani decided that my client would not be sold."
