Everton Striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin Set to Leave After Contract Talks Stall

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is set to leave Everton after failing to agree on a new contract, with the 28-year-old striker becoming a free agent at the end of June. Calvert-Lewin, who joined Everton in 2016 from Sheffield United, has expressed his desire to play in a winning environment to fulfill his ambitions of playing in the Champions League and returning to the England national team. Despite Everton's efforts to retain him, including contract offers to other players such as Seamus Coleman and Idrissa Gueye, talks with Calvert-Lewin have stalled, and the club appears resigned to losing him. Interest in the striker includes Premier League clubs like Newcastle United, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and West Ham United, as well as potential moves abroad, including Italy. Everton faces the challenge of replacing Calvert-Lewin amid a squad overhaul following multiple loan player departures and the club's move to a new stadium. Calvert-Lewin has also spoken openly about his struggles during an injury-plagued period, revealing a low point where he felt the heavy responsibility of helping Everton avoid relegation.
