A number of clubs from France including Lille, Paris FC, Rennes and Monaco were interested in signing the former Paris Saint-Germain player who was elected Everton’s Players’ Player of the Season following another impressive campaign.
David Moyes recognizes the impact of the 35-year-old who runs the show at the heart of the Everton midfield as well as other experienced legs in the team as the Toffees also extended the contracts of Michael Keane and Seamus Coleman.
Everton believes Gueye is pivotal to their new project and remain an integral part of the starting line-up and is likely to form a partnership with a younger player with Harrison Armstrong already in the team or Germany under-21 international Merlin Rohl who is linked to Everton.
The Senegalese played 37 matches for the Toffees in the league last term under both Sean Dyche and David Moyes bagging 3 assists from his defensive midfield position. His previous contact ran for 3 years from 2022.
Moyes’ team are busy in the transfer market trying to bring in young players to the squad. Softfootball reported how Everton have reached agreement with Villareal to sign Thierno Barry.
Everton have reached an agreement in principle to sign Thierno Barry from Villarreal for an initial £28M after weeks of negotiations.
Barry Villarreal’s contract is reported to contain a €40M release clause, but Everton have worked hard in recent weeks to bring this down to €35M plus future add-ons.
