Swansea City boss Paul Clement admits Gylfi Sigurdsson could join Everton in the next 48 hours.
Sigurdsson took part in an open training session at the Liberty Stadium on Wednesday morning, as the Welsh club unveiled their new third kit.
But, when addressing the media afterwards, Clement said: "He (Sigurdsson) will not play against Sampdoria on Saturday. Talks are still going on and hopefully we are going to get some news in the next couple of days.
"The deal needs to be the best for all parties involved, we have got a very, very important season coming up. We know what happened last season if you don't make a good start and we don't want that to happen again."
Everton are prepared to include Callum Connolly in their offer.
Clement adds: "Assuming it is the right player coming our way and it is someone we are interested in and fills a need in our squad. Those deals will always have potential.
"I hope it is done today, either way, whether that is selling or not, but we need a quick resolution to the situation."
