“£40M Striker DESPERATE for Premier League Glory as Everton Launch INSANE Transfer Blitz – You Won’t Believe Who!”
Everton Openly Pursue Villarreal Striker Thierno Barry as Moyes Seeks Squad Reinforcements
The future of Dominic Calvert-Lewin remains up in the air, with his contract at Everton set to expire on June 30.
Regardless of whether he stays or moves on, the Toffees are in clear need of attacking reinforcements—and Arnaut Danjuma Barry could be part of the solution.
Everton eye Barry as potential addition
Everton are actively seeking to strengthen their attacking options this summer, and Barry appears to match the profile David Moyes is targeting.
At just 22 years old, the French forward would bring youthful energy and added mobility to the frontline, helping to lower the average age of the squad.
Currently representing France at the Under-21 European Championship, Barry is looking to impress on the international stage—and potentially catch the attention of his next club.
According to The i (24 June), the player is keen on securing a move to the Premier League during the current window.
However, while Villarreal have set a £40 million release clause for Barry, Everton are reluctant to pay that figure.
Instead, they are hoping to enter direct negotiations with the Spanish club in an attempt to agree on a lower fee.
Why Barry makes sense for Everton
As Everton prepare to relocate to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, Barry could be a timely and fitting addition.
The former Aston Villa man not only brings youth, but also a proven track record, having scored 11 goals and provided four assists in 35 appearances last season for Villarreal.
His physical presence, coupled with technical ability and eye for goal, could help him adapt quickly to Premier League football—just as he did in La Liga.
Since replacing Sean Dyche, Moyes has made visible strides in improving Everton’s attacking play. Now, the onus is on the Friedkin Group to back his vision.
