Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Everton (estimated pre-tax loss limit in 2024-25: £77m)​

Everton’s issues with PSR compliance have been legion in recent years — including points deducted — and despite improvements off the field, not least the club finally being taken over by The Friedkin Group in late 2024, they’re not fully out of the woods yet. That’s despite them completing a deal to buy loanee Carlos Alcaraz before May’s end; that date would have seen his transfer fee jump up, and, from a PSR perspective, signing him so late in the current accounting period won’t have too great an effect on the bottom line.
In the prior two seasons, the club lost a combined £142.3million before tax, and we know from previous disclosures that 2022-23’s PSR loss was £62.7m, against a pre-tax loss of £89.1m. That left them needing a PSR loss of below £38m in 2023-24, which they managed, but not with a great deal of headroom.
Accordingly, with those figures still part of their calculation, we estimate Everton need to keep 2024-25’s pre-tax loss below £39m. The operating loss pre-player sales for 2023-24 was £82.3m, so even the big sale of Amadou Onana to Aston Villa last July mightn’t have been enough on its own to bring them to where they need to be.
Prize money from the Premier League likely only ticked up a small amount, and while the lack of legal battles has saved money, Everton’s PSR compliance looks to be a close-run thing again, at least to the end of June, albeit one we believe they’ll be just about OK on.
After this month, that £62.7m PSR deficit from 2022-23 will disappear from view.

Evertons trial and our super KC results look more disappointing every day
