There remains a lot of uncertainty around Everton.
John Textor’s takeover of Everton has been delayed as he’s still trying to sell his 45 per cent stake in Crystal Palace
Textor wants to return a profit on his stake whereas fellow investors Josh Harris and David Blitzer just want their money back.
So whilst that process unfolds, Everton can’t really make transfer plans nor can they extend the contracts of current players.
That’s put Newcastle on alert over the situation of Dominic Calvert-Lewin…
Newcastle keeping tabs on Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, writing in his Daily Briefing column, confirmed that Newcastle remain interested in Calvert-Lewin, who is yet to make any progress in contract talks.
“There is nothing concrete or advanced yet in terms of a new Everton contract for Dominic Calvert-Lewin,” Romano wrote.
“It’s something they are likely to decide in the next months, no substantial changes now.
“There’s not only Newcastle among clubs interested – many other clubs are also attentive to his situation at Everton, but again, I’ve been told it’s not a topic for September for sure.”
Dominic Calvert-Lewin price tag
Newcastle were interested in Calvert-Lewin over the summer but they opted to withdraw from the deal due to Everton’s lofty price tag.
It’s believed The Toffees value the 27-year-old at around £40m, which was deemed too costly for a player out of contract next year.
At this stage, Calvert-Lewin will be free to sign a pre-contract agreement with another club in January.
Transfer rumours are already beginning to emerge ahead of the Janaury window.
Everton made seven additions during the summer, though, they missed out on a number of targets, so there remains plenty of business to do.
