On August 4, according to an exclusive report by the British ‘Football Insider’ expert Bosun, due to a less active summer transfer market than usual, Everton, which is experiencing cash flow difficulties, will have to consider selling valuable assets in their squad—Branthwaite and Calvert-Lewin—to alleviate the crisis, possibly even at discounted prices.
The owner of Everton, Moshiri, is still seeking ways to sell the club, but with little success. The actions of the Fertitta Group, which had been close to acquiring the club, have now come to a halt. As August begins, the future of Everton remains uncertain, significantly increasing the likelihood of Branthwaite and Calvert-Lewin leaving the club.
Bosun is a financial expert who typically offers insightful perspectives on football transfers and club operations. Regarding the current situation at Everton, known as the Toffees, Bosun stated: “With August here, it will be interesting to see what happens with Branthwaite and Calvert-Lewin. Time is running out in the transfer window, and Everton’s concerns about cash flow are growing. They desperately need to make some deals to help the club get through the tough times in autumn and winter.”
Bosun also believes that the cold market will force Everton to lower their asking price for star players, and a sale is imminent: “If they can’t find buyers, Everton will face a worst-case scenario, and the issues will become apparent over the next few months. Given the state of their balance sheet and the amount of debt they owe, it’s hard to see any other options besides selling the club or selling players, as they are under strict limitations. If they suddenly decide to sell Branthwaite for £50 million, it would change our perception of their cash flow situation, but we know it’s a particularly quiet transfer market, so they may well face a situation where there’s no demand despite the price.”
