With the current financial situation looming overhead at Goodison Park, manager Sean Dyche may find it difficult to improve his Everton squad during the transfer window.
The Toffees have been plagued with numerous financial setbacks over the past couple of years, including two separate breaches of the Premier League’s PSR rules for the 2022/23 season.
Unsurprisingly, the situation has seen drastic changes on Merseyside, with Dyche’s side still needing to raise funds before June 30th if they are to avoid another potential points deduction during the 2024/25 Premier League season.
Whilst it’s unclear how much will need to be raised within the next month, the club will likely have to part ways with big-money talent, with Amadou Onana constantly touted with a move to Premier League rivals Arsenal.
Financial Fair Play: What is PSR, how does it work and who’s in trouble?
Leicester City have become the latest club charged with an alleged PSR breach, but what could happen next?
Regardless of whether the Belgian departs Merseyside this summer, the Toffees appear to be edging closer to the signing of one midfielder who could potentially follow in the footsteps of another Everton talent at Goodison Park.
