15th May 2026 has been a very busy day in the transfer market, with stories including Marcos Senesi leaving Bournemouth as a free agent, Jannik Schuster completing his move to Brentford from RB Leipzig, Anthony Gordon being linked with a move away from Newcastle United, Sven Ulreich signing a new deal at Bayern Munich, and Ruslan Malinovskyi completing his transfer to Trabzonspor.
To add to this, Everton have officially confirmed that Seamus Coleman will leave the club after 17 years wearing the Toffees’ shirt.
Softfootball gathered that Coleman joined Everton on January 1, 2009, and eventually made his official first-team debut on 22 October 2009 in a UEFA Europa League match away against SL Benfica at the Estádio da Luz.
It was described as a real “baptism of fire,” as an injury-hit Everton side suffered a heavy 5–0 defeat, with Coleman forced to play completely out of position at left-back.
Despite the difficult beginning, Coleman went on to become one of Everton’s most respected captains and longest-serving modern legends.
