Everton brace for a pivotal summer under The Friedkin Group.
Everton’s new owners wasted no time in making an impact, aiming to improve the club both on and off the pitch. Since completing their takeover from Farhad Moshiri in December 2024, The Friedkin Group is committed to correcting past mistakes and strengthening Everton’s financial and administrative stability.
The appointment of David Moyes as manager has already paid off, virtually securing another season in the Premier League as Everton prepares for life at Bramley Moore Dock. With survival nearly assured, the club has already started planning for the summer transfer window.
Everton Targeting Midfield Overhaul
The Friedkin Group showed their ruthless approach by opting not to extend Abdoulaye Doucoure’s contract. The 32-year-old midfielder, a key part of Everton’s squad since 2020, is set to leave as a free agent at the end of the season. Meanwhile, Idrissa Gueye, another crucial figure under Moyes, is also nearing the end of his contract, with uncertainty over whether he will be offered a new deal.
A potential midfield rebuild is already in motion, with Moyes eyeing Newcastle’s Sean Longstaff. According to talkSPORT, the 27-year-old is open to leaving St James’ Park in search of regular playing time. With Longstaff struggling for minutes under Eddie Howe, a move to Everton could provide him with a fresh start.
Richarlison Linked with Sensational Return
Alongside midfield reinforcements, Everton could reshape their attack, as Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s contract is also set to expire. The striker is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, and in his absence, Beto has stepped up with five goals in his last six Premier League games.
With Calvert-Lewin possibly leaving, Everton has been linked with a dramatic return for Richarlison. The Brazilian has struggled at Tottenham, and Spurs are reportedly open to selling him. Given his popularity at Goodison Park, a return could be a major boost for the club and its fans.
As Everton enters a new era, the arrivals of Longstaff and Richarlison could mark the beginning of a major transformation under The Friedkin Group.
