Everton news: Dyche and 777 may receive a large favor of £2.9 million.
777 could instantly get some relief on their wage bill.
According to a recent rumor, Everton manager Sean Dyche and probable new owners 777 Partners may be set to gain some much-needed wage relief for the Toffees.
Everton transfer news: 777 Partners, Branthwaite and Garner Bill Kenwright, the latest chairman of the Toffees, has provided an encouraging update on his health in recent days, following news from Everton that the 78-year-old has returned home from hospital after having a malignant tumor removed from his liver. One club spokesperson told BBC Sport: “He has returned home to continue his recovery, which is expected to be lengthy but complete.”
In conversation with the Price of Football podcast meanwhile, football finance expert Kieran Maguire has indicated that there is a lot of ‘red flags’ within 777 Partners’ proposed Everton takeover, as he stated: “The work of some other Everton fans who have looked into the background of 777, there are lots of red flags.”
In-form Everton central defender Jarrad Branthwaite has been in action for England’s Under-21 side during the international break and featured in the young Three Lions’ 9-1 obliteration of Serbia at the City Ground in midweek alongside James Garner. The duo are now scheduled to take part in Lee Carsley’s side’s upcoming tussle against Ukraine on Monday 16th October at 5.30 pm in UEFA Euro qualifying.
Everton face a powderkeg clash at Anfield against Liverpool on October 21st in the Premier League once they return from the international break. and Dyche’s men will be desperate to build on their 3-0 triumph against Bournemouth at Goodison Park last weekend to move further away from the relegation zone.
Everton transfer news: Andre Gomes
According to a Calciomercato transfer report, Toffees outcast Andre Gomes is being lined up as a potential replacement for Paul Pogba at Juventus after the France international tested positive for a banned substance and now faces a four-year ban from football.
Gomes, whose £112k-a-week contract expires next June, has been identified as a financially viable option for the Italian giants to help fill the void that Pogba could leave, though much will depend on whether Everton are willing to part ways with the Portuguese midfielder six months early.
Everton might save about £2.9 million on Gomes’ salary if they reach an agreement with Juventus in the new year, since they would not have to pay the remaining 26 weeks on his contract from January to June.
Moving Gomes, who has two goals and seven assists in 100 appearances for Everton but has not played a single minute this season and is clearly not in Dyche’s plans, may be a cost-effective solution for all parties involved (Gomes statistics – Transfermarkt).
