Everton reportedly hopes to spark their transfer window to the wait for Thierno Barry, who reportedly competed in the competition to sign the championship star.
Everton’s goal after Barry
Barry is reportedly completing a move worth about £30m from Villarreal until Everton can turn his attention to further revenues. Who are these goals is a big question. Names like James McAtee and Takefusa Kubo are still the most interesting, and the Toffees can still push for two more offensive reinforcements.

Toffees are the market for reinforcement.
McAtee stands out in particular. The Manchester City graduates are desperate to leave Etihad in search of consistent game time and enter a new era with Everton at Dickinson Hills Everton, which will be handed him entirely.
Despite being forced to play a frustrating role last season, McCart is still impressed whenever he has the opportunity to thrive under Pep Guardiola. So much so that Espanyol said nothing after a hat-trick against Salford City in the FA Cup.
“I’m happy for him, he’s a special player. Hat tricks aren’t easy. He had an incredible feeling before the goal, he was right, he changed the pace to score, and I’m so happy for him.”
However, even after this compliment, McCart’s future looks destined to stay away from citizens. Of course, when City last sold a young player like McAtee, Chelsea won an incredible player at Cole Palmer, who is now one of the best players the Premier League has to offer.
Whether Everton can repeat Chelsea’s McCart genius remains to be seen, but midfield reinforcements appear to be a priority for the Toffees to have or have no City Gem this summer.
Everton joins Hayden Hackney Race
According to Sky Sports, Everton is now joining the event, signing Hayden Hackney from Middlesbrough this summer after a preliminary inquiry into his availability.
With the signing of the £25m midfielder in a busy match, the Toffees could eventually bring Hackney to the Premier League and in the process provide an impressive replacement for the late Abdoulaye Doucoure.

Hackney is ready for the Premier League. Even though Boro failed to win a seat in the playoffs last season, he still held the championship in the park with possession and no authority, recently helping the England U21 win a European title victory.
It’s no surprise that former manager Michael Carrick is very complimented by his star man, who told reporters after Hackney won the 2024 Player of the Year Award: “I didn’t get any praise for winning the Player of the Year award from Hayden Hackney.
“He’s a talented guy, and more importantly, he’s so down-to-earth and modest. He’s willing to listen, he’s a very fast learner, so you told him he’s on board soon.”
