The rumour mill has already begun to spin ahead of this, which looks to be an incredibly momentous summer for Everton.
Kevin Thelwell will have to face some obstacles before he can hopefully move forward, but it is up to him to decide if that is for the better or worse.
Significant sales are anticipated, and a handful of their star men have already sparked some curiosity.
But whether or not he chooses to sell them will probably depend on the asking price and whether or not it would be sufficient to entice the Toffees to approve exits.
Just four people remain who could depart: Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Madou Onana, Jarrad Branthwaite, and Dwight McNeil. However, on this particular occasion, the latter is the one receiving special attention.
This summer, Dominic Calvert-Lewin is wanted by Newcastle United.
Journalist Luke Edwards provides the most recent information on his future, stating that Newcastle United is interested in the £100k-per-week former Sheffield United striker ahead of this summer transfer window.
Given Calvert-Lewin’s contract status, it was always believed that interest in the 27-year-old would be significant; nevertheless, a sizable alluring bid is not anticipated because of the Magpies’ own PSR limits.
Just over a year after they let Anthony Gordon leave for an enticing £45 million, it will be interesting to see what they can offer Everton that would convince them to deal with another of their great assets.
Eddie Howe’s desire to lure Calvert-Lewin away from Merseyside is admirable, but Sean Dyche’s team needs the striker badly enough to let him go for anything less than a huge sum of money.

Despite not scoring as many goals as he would have liked to this season—he went through a particularly dry spell in the middle of the campaign—Calvert-Lewin’s value to Everton is still easily measured.
After all, with his exceptional qualities, Dyche’s team is obviously more productive and cohesive with him on the team.
The marksman embodies the type of number nine that this manager is looking for, but he also adds a beautiful first touch, deft link-up play, and scary pace to his massive size.
His aerial skills are also very helpful for their direct style of play, as he is among the top 5% of strikers in Europe in terms of aerials won per 90.
The fact that the team lost a staggering 50% of the games in which he did not play this season compared to only 34% in which he did play highlights the significance of this player even more. Even though he only had seven Premier League goals, they still had an impressive 34% victory percentage when he was on the pitch.
He has demonstrated his ability to score goals on a regular basis in the past, scoring 13 and 16 goals in two different seasons.
Thus, there’s a chance that he will carry on scoring goals consistently and strengthening Everton in the process. The club merely needs to exercise patience and understand that not every issue will be resolved by a fire sale.
