Furious Moyes Slams Star’s Desperate Stunt – Refuses to Be Bullied into Contract Chaos!

Everton have stood firm on their policy of not offering new contracts until their Premier League status was mathematically secure.

With recent results confirming safety from relegation, manager David Moyes has acknowledged that the club can now begin planning for next season.

This summer promises to be eventful at Goodison Park, with several players potentially in line for contract extensions.

While Moyes is keen to retain Dominic Calvert-Lewin, it’s clear that others are showing a greater eagerness to remain with the club.

Despite the interest in keeping certain players, Moyes, now 61, insists Everton will not be rushed or pressured into making decisions.

Speaking to the press on Thursday, he emphasized that the club will operate on its own terms.

One player who has openly expressed his desire to stay is Abdoulaye Doucoure.

After scoring a crucial winning goal over the weekend, the Mali international celebrated in front of the away fans in a gesture that hinted at his hope for a new deal.

In his post-match comments, Doucoure made it clear he wants to continue his journey at Everton.

However, Moyes made it plain that while he appreciated Doucoure’s performance, the club’s decisions won’t be swayed by player statements or celebratory gestures.

“We’re in a place now where we want to ensure everything is done properly.

We won’t leave it until the last minute, but equally, we won’t let current players dictate the timing of our decisions,” he said.

“The responsibility lies with the club to act at the right moment, and it’s on the players to make our decisions easier.”

Micah Richards praised Doucoure’s goal celebration at the City Ground, but Everton appear more focused on his on-field contributions than his post-match remarks.

Gary Lineker also lauded Doucoure’s performance, though his overt display may have exposed his hand.

With Everton now aware of his intentions, the expectation is that Doucoure won’t entertain alternative offers readily.

Meanwhile, interest from Saudi Arabia in Idrissa Gana Gueye could apply pressure on Everton’s hierarchy.

While Moyes maintains that the club won’t be pushed into premature decisions, external interest may prompt a faster response.

Ultimately, Everton’s focus remains on making smart, timely choices — regardless of external or internal pressure — to ensure a strong squad heading into the next campaign.
