Season › 2024-25 › News The Rumour Mill Everton owners ready to back David Moyes with £150m in the transfer market Anjishnu Roy | 18/07/2025 11comments | Jump to last Everton are ready to back David Moyes with ambitious summer transfer plans, according to Miguel Delaney of The Independent. According to the report, Moyes is insistent on signing a right winger, an attacking midfielder, a central midfielder and a right back after having signed striker Thierno Barry and goalkeeper Mark Travers. James McAtee of Manchester City is believed to be a priority, although they are expecting fierce competition from several top European clubs, most notably Eintracht Frankfurt. “Other options for Everton are Juventus' Douglas Luiz, Monaco's Maghnes Akliouche and Freiburg's Merlin Rohl in midfield, Real Sociedad's Takefusa Kubo on the right, and Panathinaikos' Georgios Vagiannidis for right-back,” the report added. However, Vagiannidis is currently linked with a move to Sporting Lisbon, and the Portuguese club are believed to be leading the race to sign him. Everton’s new owners have full faith in Moyes after the way he guided the Blues to 13th place in the league following his appointment in January, when the club were dangerously close to getting dragged into a relegation battle. There’s a feeling that they are ready to make a major financial statement to usher in a new era at the Hill Dickinson Stadium after years of frustration and financial uncertainty.

Disclaimer () Brendan Fox 1 Posted 18/07/2025 at 19:39:15 Let's hope the rumours above have a grain of truth about them. COYB! Bobby Mallon 2 Posted 18/07/2025 at 19:56:31 We will only go and spend it on shite. If it's the case, then we should be signing top quality players. Alan McGuffog 3 Posted 18/07/2025 at 19:58:21 I thought it was a question of how much we will be allowed to spend, not how much we have burning a hole? Dennis Stevens 4 Posted 18/07/2025 at 20:10:49 So, we're not after a left-back? Somewhat undermines the credibility of this report, imo. Paul Hewitt 5 Posted 18/07/2025 at 20:21:00 I don't care how much we have to spend, I'm fed up of all the rumours. We are about 4 weeks away from starting the season, and we don't have a bloody squad. We need another 8 players at least to have a competitive squad. Get a move on, TFG!!! Joe McMahon 6 Posted 18/07/2025 at 20:24:27 Now playing another pre season match v Port Vale at BMD. But closed doors. Why?! John Chambers 7 Posted 18/07/2025 at 20:33:14 Joe I suspect it will be to give the players a “feel” for the experience of playing in the new stadium before appearing in front of 50,000. Moyes has also said he wants a couple of training sessions there Duncan McDine 8 Posted 18/07/2025 at 20:50:04 PSR, FFP, WTF? Doesn't matter how much dosh the new owners could spare... ask Newcastle. Rob Halligan 9 Posted 18/07/2025 at 20:54:12 John # 7……..the first team squad have already been training at HDS today. This was shown on a you tube video by Mr Drone about 2-3 hours ago, but it looks like for some reason that video has now been removed. I did manage to see it though. John Brooks 10 Posted 18/07/2025 at 21:33:23 My God the pessimism from some of you guys. It's great speculating on who will or won't be coming in. However, there is absolutely no reason (beyond impatience), why you should be ripping into the hierarchy, yet. Unless you have a direct line to the management of Everton, you don't know what is going on behind the scenes. If it is a poor summer window when it closes, go ahead, I'll even join in with you. But until then, let them do their job. Gavin Johnson 11 Posted 18/07/2025 at 21:38:32 If we pull it off and managed to sign Luiz, McAtee, Kubo, a RB and a loan or two, I think we would be aiming for the Europa and Conference places. We'd suddenly have a really good squad. I don't expect us to bring in all of those aforementioned players though...It Everton lol.
