“SHOCKING Everton Bombshell: Jaw-Dropping Truth About 14-Goal South American Superstar Will Leave You Speechless!”

Everton ultimately secured their Premier League status comfortably in the 2024/25 season, capping off the campaign with a 2-0 victory over Southampton that confirmed a 13th-place finish.

It’s a commendable outcome considering the club’s dire situation around the Christmas period.

At that time, Everton were only a point above the relegation zone, and things looked bleak. When Sean Dyche departed in January, the mood among fans was overwhelmingly negative.

However, David Moyes arrived and successfully turned things around, guiding the team to safety.

Moyes’ impact has been significant, but alongside Angus Kinnear and The Friedkin Group, he now faces the challenge of reshaping the squad for the 2025/26 season.

A number of players are set to move on, meaning Everton must be proactive in the transfer market.

Departures already confirmed include Joao Virginia, Asmir Begovic, Ashley Young, and Abdoulaye Doucoure.

Meanwhile, Armando Broja will return to Chelsea following the end of his loan spell, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin may also leave, with his contract nearing expiry.

In terms of reinforcements, Everton have reportedly been considering forward options, and one name previously linked was Taty Castellanos of Lazio. However, a recent update has cast doubt on this possibility.

Italian journalist Rudy Galetti has reported that Everton are not currently planning a move for Castellanos.

While the club is indeed exploring forward options for the upcoming season, Castellanos is not on their list at this time. Galetti offered an explanation via social media, stating:

“Everton are not considering a move for Castellanos, despite rumours.

EFC are exploring some options for next season, but the ST is not on their list as of now.

Lazio see Taty as a key piece for the future, and the player is happy with his role at the team.”

The Argentine striker has had a strong season with Lazio, registering 14 goals and 8 assists in 38 appearances, making him an attractive target.

Nevertheless, his apparent contentment in Rome, along with Lazio’s desire to retain him, may discourage a potential move.

Everton, meanwhile, continue to assess other striker targets. Liam Delap is one name under consideration, although competition for his signature could complicate any deal.

Another player reportedly on their radar is Ajax’s Brian Brobbey, who enjoyed a solid season in the Netherlands.

While Castellanos may be out of reach for now, Everton’s recruitment drive is set to be active as the club aims to build a stronger squad for the future.
