David Moyes during an Everton training session
The Scotsman's current deal at Hill Dickinson Stadium is due to expire at the end of the season.
It was reported in the summer that Moyes would likely see out one more campaign on Merseyside before a mutual parting of the ways.
However, the Toffees' positive start to the campaign - they sit three points off the top four and face Fleetwood Town for a place in the Carabao Cup semi-finals - may have changed that stance.
Monday's 1-0 win away at Newcastle United, combined with reaching the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup, has shifted the narrative.
A new update has now been shared on Moyes' future, as well as the takeover latest at Everton.
What's changed over David Moyes contract situation?
The topic of Moyes' future as Everton boss will not go away until a new deal has been awarded - or not.
According to Mark Douglas for the The i Paper on Thursday, via sources, Moyes' position has shifted significantly since the summer.
The experienced manager's handling of the Harrison Armstrong furore is said to have reinforced the importance of stability.
With the Friedkin Group open to offers for Everton, the Americans know the importance of not rocking the boat.
A new deal for Moyes therefore now looks close, with an insider telling the publication that a new deal should be offered "sooner rather than later".
What's the latest on Everton sale?
It's now been a month since the Friedkins confirmed they were open to offers for Everton, as they look to exit after less than two years in place.
Much has been written about a potential takeover since then, but nothing concrete has emerged.
Douglas adds in his article that the Friedkins remain hopeful their £800million asking price will be met before the end of the season.
There has been preliminary interest from the United States, but nothing is advanced.
So while more change can be expected at Everton in 2027, it is unlikely to be in the dugout.
