Dominic Calvert-Lewin could be set to quit Everton and join a new club as “they can’t compete” for his signature.
The 28-year-old is out of contract with the Merseyside giants on 30 June, but the club revealed talks are still ongoing with his representatives.
Football Insider revealed on 6 June Everton are resigned to losing Calvert-Lewin after he’s rejected multiple new contract offers.
The forward has spent the past nine years at Goodison Park, but he’s faced various injury issues in recent years.
Finance expert Stefan Borson exclusively told Football Insider it makes sense for Everton to try and negotiate a new deal with Calvert-Lewin as he’s worth up to £40million when he’s on form.
The 11-cap England international scored just three league goals in the 2024-25 campaign, taking his Premier League tally to 57 in 239 appearances.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin could agree deal ‘all of a sudden’
Borson insisted Everton will not be able to compete with any interested clubs for Calvert-Lewin as they will offer him more money due to him being available for free.
He told Football Insider: “I think it makes sense for Everton to continue negotiating because he’s in the open market.
“Even with his injury record, you would think he would have had a value.
“I think last season they talked about him potentially being sold to Newcastle for something like £25million, so that’s the sort of value that the player has, and that was with one year left of his contract.
“He is a player that on form probably has a market value of £40million, something like that. Essentially, Everton are in a position where another club that’s speaking to him, they’re able to get him effectively on a free transfer with no fee.
“Therefore, they can look at what the overall package is worth. It just seems unlikely that Everton are going to be able to compete with a third party.
“For example, you would imagine one of the promoted teams might be saying, ‘Well, here’s an opportunity to get this player without a fee, so we can wrap up the £10-20million that we were prepared to pay for a striker into the bundle of his wages’.
“All of a sudden, Calvert-Lewin’s got a good deal and a team in probably the bottom half of the table has got a new player on a free transfer.”

Everton and Newcastle frontrunners in Jack Grealish race
David Moyes is looking to improve his squad this summer after steering Everton away from relegation trouble and securing a 13th-place finish in the Premier League table.
Football Insider revealed on 11 June Everton and Newcastle United are leading the race to sign Jack Grealish as he looks set to leave the Etihad Stadium.
Sources say a loan deal, with Manchester City covering a portion of the winger’s wages, is the “most likely” outcome.
The 29-year-old is keen to feature regularly at a new club ahead of the World Cup in North America next year.
