Dominic Calvert-Lewin;Everton striker star has announced terminating his Contract with club due to…

Everton star Dominic Calvert-Lewin is out of contract this summer and his agents have reportedly ‘reached out’ to Newcastle to gauge their interest in the striker.

The Toffees’ squad could look very different next season, with eight of their players on expiring contracts, while the futures of five loanees must also be decided on – although one key player has just been offered an extension.

Calvert-Lewin, 28, is perhaps the biggest name who could leave on a free transfer. He has been Everton’s main striker for several years but has been plagued by injuries.

Calvert-Lewin came close to joining Newcastle last summer as part of a deal that would’ve seen Yankuba Minteh join Everton from the Magpies. However, Calvert-Lewin’s wage demands were deemed too high and negotiations collapsed.

According to journalist Lee Ryder of The Chronicle, Eddie Howe still ‘admires’ Calvert-Lewin and he ‘would come into consideration if Callum Wilson leaves the club on a free transfer this summer.’

The report claims that Calvert-Lewin’s representatives have ‘touched base to see if Newcastle are still interested in the deal that they discussed last summer.’

The striker is said to be ‘open to a move to Newcastle‘, which indicates that a new Everton contract is unlikely.

Calvert-Lewin eyes new challenge; Everton midfielder offered new contract

Everton’s new owners, The Friedkin Group, have completed a detailed review of the club, including an analysis of the players who are set to be free agents this summer.

Sources have informed TEAMtalk that in the coming weeks new contracts will be offered to players who they wish to keep. Calvert-Lewin could be one of them, but no formal talks have taken place with the striker as yet.

According to The Bobble, Everton have today (Friday) offered midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye a new contract, who despite being 35 is still arguably the Toffees’ best midfielder.
