The Paraguayan centre forward is apparently unhappy with Benfica and wants a move away from the Stadium of Light.
Similarly, Benfica are unhappy with Cardozo, something about a row over his fitness, and are said to be willing to let him go for less than the £20 million he's valued at.
Which, let's face it, will probably still be considerably more than the Blues can afford, even if we do offload Yakubu for £10 million.
Which we won't....
Another player linked with Everton is Manchester City's Craig Bellamy.
The Welsh weirdo is said to be unhappy at Eastlands and famously sided with David Moyes when the Everton manager had a little bit of handbags with Roberto Mancini last season.
And even more wild rumours have been built upon less substantial evidence than that!
Oh and Aston Villa have now joined the chase - it's officially a chase now - for Steven Pienaar...Villa?...frig off!!!
