Sean Dyche will be in DISTRESS as top club is set to snatch Everton Best Player by triggering his release clause

Brentford Unlikely to Trigger Clause to Buy Neal Maupay from Everton

According to a report by The Athletic, Brentford are unlikely to exercise the option-to-buy clause in Neal Maupay’s loan deal, meaning the French striker will return to Everton at the end of the season. Maupay has been on loan at Brentford since January and has scored eight goals in 30 appearances, reigniting his goalscoring form.

The report suggests that Brentford will not trigger the clause, allowing Maupay to return to Goodison Park, where Everton manager Sean Dyche will assess his options for the summer. Maupay’s return could be beneficial for Everton, as he has shown his ability to form a productive partnership with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, scoring six goals since Ivan Toney’s return to the Brentford lineup.

Maupay’s time at Everton has been marked by inconsistency, with the Frenchman struggling to find his footing since joining the Toffees in 2022. Despite making 34 appearances, he has only managed to score two goals, leading to concerns about his ability to lead the line for the Merseyside club. However, his loan spell at Brentford has seen him rediscover his scoring touch, and his partnership with Calvert-Lewin could be a valuable asset for Everton next season.

With Beto and Yousef Chermiti having poor seasons in front of goal, Maupay’s return could provide a useful option for Everton. Additionally, selling Maupay may not generate a significant fee, making it worthwhile for Everton to keep him for another season. The Frenchman’s experience and goalscoring ability could be crucial for the Toffees as they look to improve on their mid-table finish this season.

The decision comes amid financial concerns for Everton’s owner, Farhad Moshiri, who may be looking to offload players to ease financial burdens. However, Maupay’s return could be a welcome addition to the squad, and his partnership with Calvert-Lewin could be a valuable asset for the team next season. Everton fans will be hoping that Maupay can build on his form at Brentford and become a key player for the Toffees once again.
