Dominic Calvert-Lewin has officially confirmed his departure from Everton after nearly a decade at the club. The 28-year-old forward’s contract expired this summer, and despite negotiations, no agreement was reached on a new deal.
His exit had been anticipated for weeks, with Everton manager David Moyes already seeking replacements ahead of the new campaign. Calvert-Lewin addressed fans on social media, expressing his gratitude with a message saying, “Thank you for everything,” and reflecting on how proud he was to wear the Everton shirt.
Now a free agent, Calvert-Lewin has drawn interest from several clubs in England and abroad. Newly promoted Premier League teams—Leeds United, Burnley, and Sunderland—are all considered potential destinations. Football pundit Dave King suggested one of those sides should be seriously considering his signature.
Despite his past success, the striker has struggled for form and fitness in recent years. Since his standout spell under Carlo Ancelotti, injuries have limited his impact, with just 3 goals in 26 appearances last season and only 8 the year before. His output has steadily declined, and Beto eventually took over his role under Moyes.
Even so, Calvert-Lewin’s departure is a significant move after nine years with Everton. He confirmed his exit on Instagram, leaving fans emotional and reflecting on his contributions. His next step will be closely watched, as he looks to revive his career with a fresh challenge this summer.
