Everton’s summer transfer budget has been revealed and the Toffees will need to be smart in the window.
David Moyes’s side will move into the Hill Dickinson Stadium next season ahead of an exciting new era. However, hopes of an expensive recruitment drive appear to have been squashed after the extent of the club’s summer resources was revealed.
Football finance expert Kieran Maguire has told the BBC that Everton have the funds for perhaps ‘one marquee signing’ but cast doubt on the chances of multiple expensive arrivals.
"One marquee signing is certainly possible, especially with some players out of contract, but the chances of a series of big names are less likely," Maguire said.
"A spend of £50-£100m is the ballpark unless there are exits.”
In a transfer market of inflated price tags, Everton will need to be savvy with new arrivals. Ashley Young, Asmir Begovic, Joao Virginia and Abdoulaye Doucoure are all confirmed departures when their contracts expire, while Idrissa Gueye, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Michael Keane and Seamus Coleman are also out of contract.
Loanees Jack Harrison, Orel Mangala, Armando Broja and Jesper Lindstrom will return to their parent clubs, though Everton have triggered the permanent option to sign Charly Alcaraz.
Those exits leave Everton with just 13 senior players from Moyes’s 2024-25 squad ahead of the new campaign.

Total nonsense.

It's going to be difficult for us finding the "holy grail" of a proven goalscoring striker.

What does this guy know?

If so, it increases the interest in Jarrad Branthwaite, a marquee player we need to keep at all costs.

Robert Tressell did better, even naming players we could possibly get for the money.

How Everton would it be that we miss out on Champions League because of AS Roma...

Stating the obvious. Not like the new ground has started to increase revenues just yet. A couple of decent signings and 2-3 loans and we will be fine.

He doesn't quantify what amount constitutes a marquee signing.

Kunal - amortisation is more of a thing when it's a long-term contract, as far as I understand it (which is not all that far, to be honest). Chelsea have gone down the long-term contract road, big time, but Alcaraz signed for two years and it looks like Gana will do the same (with Moyes himself being on a 2.5 year contract). If I've got that wrong, I'm happy to be readvised...

As for selling our prized asset, I seriously hope not, we need to build our team from the back upwards...
However if we sold Branthwaite for £80M, we could buy a decent new centre-back for £40M and have another excellent player for £40M.
I don't expect us to sell but the outcome wouldn't be too bad.

When you have a good young centre-back who is still improving, if you can keep him, I definitely would.

We need to build on what we have – not sell our best assets and struggle again.
