Fulham offer improved terms to Tete as Everton wait on decision from out of contract four
Everton enter the final week of June with work to do before the real transfer mayhem begins.
Clarity is required on the as yet unresolved contract situations of Seamus Coleman, Idrissa Gueye, Michael Keane and Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Each of their current deals will expire next week. A decision on their futures is expected in the next week.
In other news, Everton want Kenny Tete and are trying to seal the free transfer signing of the Netherlands international right-back, whose deal at Premier League rivals Fulham is set to expire.
However, after reports of a verbal agreement Fulham this week sent new improved contract proposals to the right-back.
Both Fulham and Everton have proposals on the table with a decision expected soon.
Join Ian Croll and Connor O’Neill for the Wednesday edition of the Royal Blue podcast as they discuss the latest Everton transfer news.

Everton open talks with Jarrad Branthwaite over new contract - will he sign?
Everton have opened talks with Jarrad Branthwaite about a new contract. Keeping hold of the centre back is a priority for the Blues this summer, with the 22-year-old once again the subject of interest from Premier League rivals.
David Moyes is determined to build his new-look Everton squad around the defender and, while he remains under contract for another two years, the offer of fresh terms that better reflected his importance were increasingly likely. The ECHO understands such conversations are now underway.
Join Ian Croll, Joe Thomas and Gav Buckland for the Friday edition of the Royal Blue podcast as they discuss the latest Everton transfer news.

Everton Premier League 25/26 fixtures confirmed
Everton will face Brighton & Hove Albion in their first competitive fixture at their new 52,888-capacity Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday, August 23 (3pm). The Seagulls also provided the opposition for the Blues’ first game of their historic final season at Goodison Park last year.
David Moyes’ men will start the 2025/26 season with a trip to newly promoted Leeds United on Monday, August 18 (8pm), some three days after neighbours Liverpool start at home to Bournemouth with a Friday night fixture.
The first Merseyside Derby comes in just Everton’s fifth fixture, going to Anfield on September 20 after they have tackled West Midlands duo Wolverhampton Wanderers (away, August 30) and Aston Villa (home, September 13) in back-to-back fixtures either side of the first international break of the new campaign.
Join Ian Croll, Tony Scott and Chris Beesley as they react to the 2025/26 fixture list.
