Sky Sports: Everton Continues Evaluation of New Transfers Ahead of Takeover
Sky Sports: Everton Continues Assessment of New Signings at Goodison Park Before Everton continue to examine the possibility of new signings at Goodison Park ahead of the Dan Friedkin takeover, according to Sky Sports. Friedkin Takeover
According to the report from 16 July, Everton is considering the necessity of selling a high-profile player to finance an equally significant signing for the squad, with Amadou Onana reportedly close to joining Aston Villa.
Despite this, they continue to assess potential new arrivals in anticipation of Dan Friedkin’s proposed takeover, expected to finalize soon (Gazzetta dello Sport, 6 July).
The question remains: who will stay and who will leave Everton? The club has already seen movement this summer, with departures including Ben Godfrey and Lewis Dobbin, while arrivals like Iliman Ndiaye from Marseille, Tim Iroegbunam, and Jack Harrison have bolstered the squad.
Any further incoming transfers are likely contingent on additional departures. Everton possesses valuable assets such as Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and any potential sales must justify their exits.
Onana’s potential £50 million move to Aston Villa represents a significant transaction in itself. Yet, with less than a month until the new Premier League season begins, stability remains crucial. Manager Sean Dyche is adept at managing with limited resources, suggesting that while substantial spending could excite Everton’s supporters, it may not be the immediate priority.
Everton is preparing for substantial changes both on and off the field, yet definitive answers seem distant as they navigate this transitional period.
