But failing that, David Moyes has talked up a potential coaching position for Seamus Coleman, or a role in another capacity.
Everton fans told us via TalkingPoints that a coaching role would be better for Coleman, but we’ll see if Moyes and the club seek to hand him a new playing deal.
Moyes did hint that Coleman isn’t big on coaching at the moment, so it’s not out of the question.
Ahead of the big decision, Coleman has been speaking about Everton and the potential legacy he wants to leave behind.

Coleman sat down to film a video for the Premier League’s official YouTube channel, which saw him reflect on his amazing stint at the club.
Coleman joined Everton in 2009 and went on to establish himself as a top full-back in the Premier League, making a mockery of his £60,000 transfer fee.
As amazing as Coleman has been on the pitch, he has also been very influential off it, and Coleman is keen to be remembered for his love of the club.
He said: “I hope that people just see someone that respected the shirt. Respected the people. Respected his teammates, the managers they worked for.
“Someone who just gave their all all the time, and put the club before his own needs and hopefully in years to come when the club’s flying again, I can look back on that tough three-year period that we all stuck together and I was part of that as well.”
Coleman has nothing to worry about with legacy desire
It is heartwarming to hear that all Coleman ever wanted was to respect this great club and the people working for it.
That has always come across with him, so he has absolutely nothing to worry about in terms of wanting to be seen and remembered as a respectful player.

Coleman has always conducted himself with absolute class.
It is clear to see the high regard in which he’s held regardless of who speaks about him. Because no one has a bad word to say.
Everton have been incredibly fortunate to have a player like him around for all these years, and if this is to be his last season, then hopefully the club will ensure he is appropriately acknowledged and celebrated for the legend that he is.
