Everton’s numerous contract sagas are now heading into the final weeks of the season.
A seriously busy summer awaits David Moyes and his recruitment staff, with the Toffees looking set to lose a significant number of players.
Abdoulaye Doucoure has already said he’s set to leave Everton, with the club showing little sign of extending his stay.
But there is optimism some will be handed a new deal to keep them around for a little longer.
Everton are expected to keep Idrissa Gana Gueye, but there has been nothing made official just yet.
However, there is one player who has now changed his agents ahead of the summer with his future in doubt.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin changes agency amid Everton contract saga
Everton have been keen to hand Dominic Calvert-Lewin a new deal, but the striker has not engaged with the offers from the club.
With a matter of weeks now remaining in the season, the 28-year-old is no closer towards signing a new contract.

And according to one club insider, Calvert-Lewin has decided to change his agency with the player looking set to leave the club.
Calvert-Lewin is currently managed by Wasserman and he is set to return to his former representatives.
Of course, the player could still sign a new deal at Everton and just be eyeing improved terms, but the suggestion so far has been he looks set to depart.
After months out, Calvert-Lewin remains injured, with Moyes’ attacking options having been depleted since his arrival.
There has been very little to go off this season for the Toffees to justify handing out a new contract to the striker.
Everton need to cut ties with Calvert-Lewin
There was an injury boost for Calvert-Lewin around a month ago with the Toffees expecting him to return sooner than expected.
He is still yet to return to training.
Even when Everton had the striker available this season, he has not shown enough to suggest he is a player who can take the club forward.

And he has not been able to do this for a number of seasons now despite being named ‘one of Everton’s most important players‘.
Moyes has been keen to keep Calvert-Lewin, but there has to come a time when the club look to move on from something which isn’t really working.
