Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread



L’Equipe reporting that we may not even be sending Mangala back, absolutely shocking if true and a massive oversight by our DOF
Errrm you know that if a okdyers gets injured whilst on loan the club loaning still is contracted to pay his wages?

Big clubs normally take a player back from lower league teams due to having better rehab and medical facilities nothing more.

Why send him back, it doesn't benefit us at all and makes us look terrible PR wise

If there is a loan fee paid by the loaning club (Everton) - then the loanee club (Lyon) is under no obligation to take the player back during the agreed loan term.

No oversight, just the machinations of loan contracts. It could be considered a duty of care for Lyon to take Mangala back to have his ACL injury treated by their own medical department, but it wouldn't absolve Everton of their salary commitments or their loan fee.

It's the same situation with Broja, but at least the Mangala loan doesn't impede our attempts to loan another player from outside of the Premier League.

Not just that but I don’t even think there was a loan fee, just a commitment to pay his wages. For a player of that standard it was a massive favour from Textor. The idea that we could’ve insisted on a unilateral break clause in a deal that was already very much in our favour is pretty ridiculous.
