Contracts Expiring Summer 2026

[GoldenToffee]

Michael Keane
Idrissa Gueye
Jack Grealish*
Tyrique George**
Merlin Röhl***
Vitalii Mykolenko
Seamus Coleman

*£50 million buy clause that will certainly not be activated. How much would the club be prepared to spend on a player who turns 31 at the start of the new season on the back of a serious injury?

**Unspecified buy clause amount, which you'd imagine should be around the £20 million mark.

***£18-20 million obligated buy clause must be activated in the summer.

Coleman, it was a miracle he was offered a contract for the season. This is surely the end for his Everton playing days now, though.

Gueye, should not be considered a regular starter next season if retained. Moyes may weigh up if Irougbunam or Röhl can step up to replace him, or if he can use the transfer market to find a long-term replacement.

Mykolenko, one of the overall weaker full backs in the division but would be a decent enough backup. Funds are likely going to be limited, and with him only turning 27 this May, probably expect to see him given a two-year deal.

Keane, probably depends if the club are looking to sell Branthwaite, as Moyes loves Keane. Surely it's time to move on from him though?

Coleman was watching from up in the gods with Moyles yesterday. He’s basically a coach now it seems.

Mykolenko with the assist yesterday - looks like he’s being told to work on creating more? But if he has the likes of Atletico sniffing around, you would assume he will be off on a free.

Sign some ruddy full-backs, Ev.

How do you know this ? PSR or whatever it's called now is pukka .

 

[UltraVires]

I think Everton have an option to extend Gueye for a year if we want to. Given he was straight back in after Afcon, I imagine Moyes will keep him. Same for Keane.

The rest I agree with barring Myko who I don’t think a 2 year deal would be offered or accepted. If we decide to offer him a contract it will be 3 plus one i would expect

Might just be media guff but doesn't Gueye want to finish his career in France (Paris FC was quoted) so he may well be off.Ive my suspicions that he resigned only because he had a clause to be selected when fit. Armstrong is looking ready to fill his spot. Keane has to go. Mykolenko defends well so is going nowhere. Can see Moyes seeing out his contract. So next season will be more of the same.

Mykolenko three+ 1? I bloody hope not! Two years as backup would be fine, but no more than that as he really is a limited player.

Have to imagine his contract is being negotiated as we speak because he'd surely have been sold in January if we didn't want to keep him after this season.

The new rules are squad cost ratio, so we can spend 85% of our turnover on wages and transfer fees

The last set of audited accounts our wage bill was 84% of our turnover.

Thanks for clarifying. My days of working out P&L and balance sheets are long gone . Ta.

 

[chicoazul]

Same as last season, a good opportunity to clear out and replace with better. There’s money to spend this summer for Everton too but as you said £60m upwards might already be earmarked/compulsory.

Will be interesting to see who’s sold as some areas like the midfield and wings are a little bloated.

70% for UEFA competitions.

….not sure if we have option for another year on Gueye, sensible to take that up and transition Armstrong, Rohl and Iroegbunam in. Keane has also been excellent, no hesitation to extend his deal.

Mykolenko is the interesting one. I’d presume the club would like to tie him down even if the plan is to bring better quality in. There is the possibility that he wants to run his current contract down and move on a Bosman.

The decision on Grealish and George might be entirely dependent on what impact George has. The other imponderable is what players might leave if acceptable offers come in.

I expect there will be clubs sniffing around Ndiaye in the summer. He almost said as much with his interview with Joyce in yesterday's Times. Should get a decent wedge for him

 

[Miked1e]

Keane to go and extend gana by another year but only as a squad player.

Need to be in the market desperately for 2 x FBs minimum. So not sure what the plan is for Myko going forward.

He’s the one I don’t want to lose but yes it’s inevitable we will. In an ideal world get another season out of him, raise his value even more with better players around him, and then take what needs to be a huge profit. He’s a Champions League player for sure.

Do you have a link to that article please chum.

 

[RufusCat]

I would be surprised if Keane went, as a squad player, his improvement this season is clear. I would expect Beto to move back to Italy and a second striker to be signed as replacement. Would prefer Gana to stay as I do not understand people clamouring for him to go due to his age, if he is good enough he is old enough! After that it will depend on what Moyes has asked the transfer committee to supply, to bolster and improve the squad. Will be interesting to see.
