Sport nationEverton is facing a difficult decision regarding the future of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, with sources revealing that the club is susceptible to offers for the forward before the transfer deadline on August 30. Sean Dyche has admitted that Calvert-Lewin could be sold in the final days of the window, and it is believed that the club is expecting strong interest in the player.
The 27-year-old has rejected multiple contract renewal offers from Everton, and sources indicate that no progress has been made on a new deal. This means that the club may be forced to sell Calvert-Lewin this week or risk losing him on a free transfer in January 2025, when he can sign a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs.
Newcastle United has already shown interest in Calvert-Lewin earlier in the summer window but was priced out of a move by Everton. However, the Toffees may now be forced to reevaluate their demands if they are to bank a transfer fee for the player.
Calvert-Lewin has been a key player for Everton, scoring 68 goals for the club since joining from Sheffield United in 2016. He was the top scorer for Sean Dyche’s side in the 2023-24 campaign, scoring eight goals in a relatively injury-free campaign. However, it now appears that he is seeking a new challenge, and Everton may be forced to accept a bid for the player.
The situation is a difficult one for Everton, who are already facing uncertainty surrounding the club’s future. The ownership situation is unclear, with John Textor making a new attempt to buy the club, and this may impact the club’s ability to make decisions regarding player transfers.
In other news, Everton has been dealt a transfer blow, with Chelsea agreeing to a deal for a player the Toffees were interested in.
