Everton Midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure Confirms Summer Exit After Five Years

Abdoulaye Doucoure has announced he will leave Everton at the end of the current season after five years with the club. The 32-year-old midfielder's contract expires this summer, and Everton chose not to extend it, leading Doucoure to seek a new chapter in his career. Doucoure expressed deep gratitude for his time at Everton, highlighting his memorable goal against Bournemouth that secured the club's Premier League survival as a career highlight. Emotional in his farewell, he thanked the fans and reflected on the challenges and pride of playing at Goodison Park, pledging to remain a lifelong supporter. His departure coincides with the club's transition from Goodison Park to their new stadium and follows similar exits of other experienced players. While his future destination is yet to be confirmed, there is reported interest from English clubs and those in the Middle East.
