Everton are set to part ways with long-serving striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin during the January transfer window, provided a suitable offer—reportedly in the region of £20 million—is tabled. The 27-year-old, whose contract expires in June, has indicated he will not extend his stay at Goodison Park.
The club, grappling with financial challenges amidst Dan Friedkin’s impending £600 million takeover, is keen to avoid losing Calvert-Lewin on a free transfer. This scenario also allows him to negotiate pre-contract agreements with overseas clubs starting January.
AC Milan is rumored to be monitoring the situation, while Premier League sides like West Ham and Newcastle, who showed interest last summer, remain in the mix. Arsenal could emerge as contenders, eyeing the England international to strengthen their title bid under Mikel Arteta.
Despite scoring only twice in 14 appearances this season, Calvert-Lewin’s 2020/21 campaign—when he netted 16 Premier League goals—showcased his potential. With 11 England caps, his most recent international outing was in the Euro 2020 quarter-final against Ukraine.
