Dominic Calvert-Lewin will be considering his own future, but the Everton striker knows exactly what he wants.
Everton have already made some tough decisions this window, as The Friedkins decided not grant pay increases to some players.
This demonstrates a significant shift in how operations work throughout the club, which is undoubtedly a good indication.
Calvert-Lewin, who is not expected to sign a new contract with Everton, might also be affected by these merciless decisions.
This could indicate an exit as time runs out, but it hasn’t stopped the striker from requesting a move.

The 28-year-old has an unclear future under David Moyes, but Calvert-Lewin wants a fresh deal.
He’s made that plain to the club, but the question is if The Friedkins are willing to take on a striker who is out of form and has injury issues.
Richarlison is one player who could be heading in the opposite direction, although even his return has been called into question.
Alan Myers believes Richarlison’s arrival at Everton is unlikely, which will disappoint many Evertonians, and Calvert-Lewin understands their wishes.
Speaking to the High Performance Podcast, the Everton striker discussed his collaboration with the Tottenham star during their time at Goodison Park, as well as his thoughts on Richarlison’s return to the Toffees.
“I thoroughly enjoyed playing with Richy, I miss playing with Richy. We had a good partnership really,” Calvert-Lewin said.
How Richarlison could replace Calvert-Lewin at Everton
The two had four fantastic seasons together, scoring goals galore and posing a significant threat to the opponents.
Calvert-Lewin is optimistic about Everton’s future and will wish the club the best of luck, whether he is present or not, and his time playing with Richarlison explains why he may want the Brazilian back, especially after their form in the 20/21 season under Carlo Ancelotti.
| Calvert-Lewin in 20/21 | Richarlison in 20/21 | |
| Games played | 33 | 34 |
| Goal involvements | 16 (16G+0A) | 10 (7G+3A) |
| Shots on target per 90 | 1.44 | 1.00 |
| Chances created | 18 | 25 |
| Duels won % | 50.3% | 48.6% |
Despite their incredible connection on the pitch, the extraordinary thing is that if Calvert-Lewin does end up leaving the club, Richarlison could be his replacement.
Although it has been suggested that the 28-year-old’s return is doubtful, Spurs are listening to offers for Richarlison, and if Moyes sees a void in his striker options, he may consider bringing the Brazilian back.
The best conclusion for Everton fans would be to see the pair play together again, but the future does not look promising.
