Sean Dyche, the manager of Everton, is preparing for the worst-case scenario of having to sell £250 million worth of players if the team is relegated. Jordan Pickford, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Dwight McNeil, Alex Iwobi, and Amadou Onana are among the players who could be sold if Everton goes down. Additionally, midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure has warned that he is likely to leave even if the club activates an extra one-year option on his contract.
Everton has lost £430 million in five years and is currently being investigated for an alleged breach of the Premier League’s finance rules. With the team sitting just two points above the relegation zone, plans are being drawn up in case they end up in the Championship, which could cost the club £100 million in revenue.
Dyche’s side will face Manchester City on Sunday, and he has stated that they have outlines in place for what to do if they are relegated. He added that there is a lot going on, with discussions about contracts and talks with players, but right now, the focus is on getting the club past this situation and growing for the future.
Injured defender Seamus Coleman, who is a free agent this summer, is expected to stay with the club despite being stretchered off during the 2-2 draw at Leicester earlier this month.
