Everton have been active in the summer 2025 transfer window, completing several significant moves. Most recently, the club signed Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Mark Travers from Bournemouth on a four-year contract. Travers, who made 82 appearances for Bournemouth, joins Everton to provide backup to England’s number one, Jordan Pickford. The deal is valued at £4 million plus add-ons and marks Everton’s third summer signing, following Charly Alcaraz and Thierno Barry[3][5].
On the arrivals front, Everton also secured Thierno Barry from Villarreal. Barry, a France Under-21 international striker, adds depth and youthful talent to the squad. In addition, midfielder Charly Alcaraz has joined the ranks as one of this summer’s confirmed additions[2][3].
The club has also seen notable departures. Several key players, including Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Michael Keane, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Ashley Young, Asmir Begovic, Mason Holgate, and John Virginia, have left the club after their contracts expired. Additionally, Neal Maupay was sold to Marseille for £3.4 million, while multiple loan deals, including those for Jack Harrison, Jesper Lindstrom, Orel Mangala, and Armando Broja, have ended. The club’s summer spend currently stands at £39.6 million, with a net loss of £36.2 million after accounting for player sales[2][4].
In terms of squad preparations, Everton are currently in the midst of preseason, with their first friendly of the summer against Accrington Stanley. Some new signings, such as Mark Travers, are expected to feature, providing early glimpses of the updated squad ahead of the 2025/26 campaign. The club is also anticipated to unveil a new away kit soon, likely coinciding with their upcoming fixture against Blackburn[1][5].
Looking forward, manager David Moyes is reportedly still aiming to bolster the midfield, with ongoing interest in players such as Neil El Aynaoui and Douglas Luiz, highlighting a continued focus on strengthening the squad before the close of the transfer window[6].
