Everton are set to see a number of players depart as free agents this summer.
How many players will be departing is still unknown as Everton begin to whittle down who they would like to stick around.
David Moyes has admitted Seamus Coleman will remain at Everton in some form next season, whether that is as a player or potentially a coach.
A huge summer awaits the Blues with massive changes going on off the pitch as well as on it.
Although this is the perfect opportunity for Everton to really develop their squad under the Friedkins, there has to be a limit to how much change should be sanctioned.
Moyes is holding Everton contract talks at Finch Farm and it would seem there is one player who has now all but confirmed his exit ahead of the summer.

Abdoulaye Doucoure reacts to Everton contract update
Abdoulaye Doucoure wants to stay at Everton and sign a new contract, but an agreement is yet to be found.
In the meantime, it seems one of his teammates has discovered his fate as Joao Virginia has suggested he’s set to leave Everton at the end of the season.

The Portuguese goalkeeper recently took to Instagram where he captioned a photo with Jordan Pickford and Asmir Begovic with: ‘It’s been a pleasure’.
A clear indication that these are going to be the final days for the 25-year-old in an Everton shirt.
And Doucoure has reacted to the post, as he replied with a crying emoji and a heart emoji.
This will only add fuel to the fire in suggesting the goalkeeper is getting set to move on to a new club over the coming weeks.
Virginia has suggested Benfica and Sporting CP are interested in him ahead of his expected move away from Merseyside.
Now, it is just a waiting game to see who could possibly join him in packing his bags at Everton.
What David Moyes has said about Everton contracts
Time is running out on Merseyside until the final game of the season where their out-of-contract players will be hoping to learn their fate.
Everton are set for a busy summer transfer window where plenty of change is expected.
But the club will be looking to keep some of their players on beyond their current deals.
Speaking to the media on Friday, Moyes admitted there could even be some announcements prior to the Goodison Park Finale on Sunday.
“We may announce something before the final game, we’re down the road with quite a lot. There’s lots going on behind the scenes, we’re not just quite there with announcements,” he said.
“We’ve got lots of players on loan, lots of players out of contract so there are one or two difficult things we have to decide on.”
