“Everton Striker Calvert-Lewin at the Center of Transfer Speculation Amidst Contract Uncertainty”
The 27-year-old left Bramall Lane for Goodison Park eight years ago and has since become a key player for Everton, making nearly 250 appearances and scoring 68 goals.
However, with his contract at Everton entering its final year, transfer rumors have surrounded him. Losing a player of Calvert-Lewin’s quality on a free transfer is not ideal, so reports of a potential move are not surprising.
Newcastle has shown significant interest in the England international, but according to The Telegraph, they have withdrawn from the race to sign him.
Talks have been ongoing for weeks, including discussions about Yankuba Minteh moving in the opposite direction. However, the report indicates that Newcastle was taken aback by Everton’s refusal to lower their asking price.
Everton reportedly wants over £40m for Calvert-Lewin, who is also linked with West Ham United, Brentford, and AC Milan.
Newcastle might reconsider their interest later in the transfer window if Everton agrees to a lower fee.
