Dominic Calvert-Lewin voices his opinion on Everton re-signing Richarlison this summer
Calvert-Lewin Considering Future as Everton Eye Tough Decisions and Possible Richarlison Return
Dominic Calvert-Lewin is weighing up his future at Everton amid uncertainty surrounding a new contract.
While the striker remains hopeful of securing an extension, the club’s new approach under the Friedkin Group means no assurances have been given.
The Friedkins have already made bold moves this transfer window, choosing not to increase wages for several players. This signals a new, more pragmatic direction in how Everton conducts business—one that could affect Calvert-Lewin directly.
Despite his desire to stay, Calvert-Lewin is yet to receive a new contract offer. With his current deal running down, the possibility of an exit is growing, especially given his recent form and ongoing fitness concerns.
Yet, the 27-year-old has made it clear to the club that he wants to remain at Goodison Park.
Meanwhile, speculation around a potential return for Richarlison has caught the attention of fans and players alike. Calvert-Lewin, speaking on the High Performance Podcast, shared his admiration for his former strike partner.
“I thoroughly enjoyed playing with Richy, I miss playing with Richy. We had a good partnership really,” he said.
The pair formed a dynamic attacking duo during their four seasons together at Everton, particularly shining in the 2020/21 campaign under Carlo Ancelotti.
Although reports suggest a Richarlison return is unlikely—Sky Sports’ Alan Myers believes the deal may not materialize—Tottenham are said to be open to offers for the Brazilian.
Should David Moyes, now in charge at Everton, see a need for attacking reinforcements, Richarlison could still emerge as a target.
Ironically, if Calvert-Lewin does leave, Richarlison could be brought in as his replacement. It’s a scenario fans may not have anticipated, especially those hoping to see the duo reunited rather than swapped.
While Calvert-Lewin remains upbeat about Everton’s direction, his future—and that of Richarlison—is far from settled.
For supporters, the ideal outcome would be to see both players sharing the pitch once again, but for now, that remains uncertain.
