Everton signs £34m forward in negotiations

Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin announced that he left the club last week after his contract expired.

“After nine extraordinary years at this club, I made incredibly difficult decisions with my family and started a new chapter in my career,” said Brits on social media, and it was news.

The previous seasons have not been fully planned since the 2023/24 campaign began.

David Moyes is now facing the challenge of bringing in another attacker who could replace the former Sheffield United. Will someone with links be close to moving recently?

Although Calvert-Lewin was shortened to a portion last season at Goodison Park, he still needs a replacement, and Beto still needs some competition.

Well, the Toffees probably have found their man.

Indeed, according to TeamTalk, Everton is currently negotiating the signing of Villarreal striker Thierno Barry and is working to bring him to the Premier League, now knowing Calvert-Lewin is leaving.

La Liga, on the other hand, is desperate to keep its precious assets, and the French won’t go anywhere unless the club matches his 40 million euro (£34 million) release clause.

“We want the player, if he is leaving, it must be (if not about the release clause), it will be very close. If not, he will not leave.” Villa Leader Sports Director Fernando Roig Nogueroles commented.

With Calvert-Lewin’s £120,000 per week salary, Moyes will have some flexibility in potential income.

Not only will Barry be a great signing, but the youngster will be an upgrade for the former Toffee host.

Why Everton must sign Tino Barry

Calvert-Lewin has really struggled with form over the past two seasons. Last semester, he scored only three points in the Premier League and recorded two assists.

By comparison, Barry assisted four times in all matches, immediately showing that he would be a big upgrade for the British.

Additionally, Barry scored more goals (2.1 vs 1.9) than Calvert-Lewin, while scoring more frequently (once every 211 minutes, every 543 minutes every 543 minutes), creating more big opportunities in the league this season (7 vs One) and ending the season with a better goal rate (15% vs 6%).

By ranking first in all of these metrics, Barry can give Everton some much-needed firepower next season.

In May, he was praised by U23 scout Antonio Mango, who shines on his 6-foot frame and notes that his “strong physique makes him sinister in the box”.

His clumsy frame means Barry is excellent in the air. Indeed, he ranks in the top 14% (3.84) per 90 matches compared to his peers in the top five leagues in Europe.

This ability in the air will be the music of Moyes ears, who can require his winger to deliver the cross into the box regularly.

Merseyside’s clothing costs only £34m and can sign reliable players in the top five European leagues.

Not only that, Barry will be upgraded to Calvert-Lewin immediately.
