Everton are delaying decisions on their out-of-contract stars.
David Moyes will be anxious to maintain some of the players at Finch Farm, since there will be an understanding that not much will be done this summer in the window.
The Friedkins are backing Moyes in the market, but the Toffees will not want to make too many changes, as this could lead to more problems.
Everton, on the other hand, will add a number of new players to their team in preparation for the upcoming season.
Contracts have been the talk of Merseyside for several months, with decisions due soon.
Moyes is undergoing contract talks at Everton, and it appears three decisions have now been made.
Ashley Young to be offered a new Everton contract.
Everton are hoping to acquire a new full-back this summer, but Ashley Young looks poised to stay for another season.
The 39-year-old has seen his minutes decreased drastically since Moyes returned to the club.
According to one club insider, the former England international is expected to be granted a new deal before the summer.
Talks are already underway as the experienced defender is offered the option to play for Bramley-Moore Dock.
Everton could lose one right-back, with Seamus Coleman’s future uncertain.
However, Young has played some minutes off the bench for Moyes, who sees him as a viable alternative despite his age.
And it appears like he could be the first to sign a new contract, ensuring his status in the squad for next season.
The Everton contract decision for Asmir Begovic has been made. Asmir Begovic, the backup custodian, will not be granted a new agreement.
The Bosnian has not played a single minute of football this season and is scheduled to be released by the club at the end of the season.
According to the same club insider, the Blues have yet to make him a new contract offer, and there are no plans from the club to initiate discussions.
Begovic has been a true servant to the club throughout the years, but the Toffees are looking to go a different approach now.
Several Everton players have regarded Begovic as a true leader, thus it may surprise some that he is not retained at Bramley-Moore Dock.
Joao Virginia is also poised to quit Everton.
Everton will need a new goalkeeper in the summer, as both of its backup goalkeepers are expected to go.
Joao Virginia is also expected to leave at the conclusion of his contract, according to a club insider.
Virginia is reportedly in talks with other clubs, including Sporting CP and Benfica, to play more regular football.
Everton fans may not regret his decision to leave due to limited opportunities due to Jordan Pickford.
