Everton FC: The Summer of Change
The summer transfer window has seen a flurry of activity at Goodison Park, with several players departing the club already. However, one player has chosen to buck the trend and stay put, rejecting a lucrative offer from Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli.
The Toffees’ home ground
Sean Dyche’s side has made a strong start to the summer window, bringing in two new faces to bolster the squad. However, the club’s Premier League status has been threatened by the PSR (Profit and Sustainability Regulation) concerns, which have led to points deductions in the past. To alleviate these concerns, the club has sanctioned the sale of several players, including Ben Godfrey, who joined Serie A outfit Atalanta.
Despite the exodus of talent, one player has chosen to remain at the club, rejecting a three-year deal from Al-Ahli. The midfielder, who has attracted interest from several top clubs, including Arsenal and Aston Villa, has opted to stay in the Premier League.
Staying Put
According to reports, Amadou Onana has turned down the offer from Al-Ahli, preferring to continue his career in England. The Belgian international has been courted by several top clubs, but has chosen to stay loyal to Everton.

Interest in Onana is not limited to Saudi Arabian sides, with Arsenal and Aston Villa also showing keen interest in the midfielder. However, the Gunners have concerns that may affect their pursuit of the player.
What Next?
As the summer transfer window heats up, Everton FC will need to navigate the complex web of PSR regulations while also fending off interest in their top players. Amadou Onana’s decision to stay put is a welcome boost for the club, but the Toffees will need to remain vigilant to keep their squad intact.

With several top clubs circling, the next few weeks will be crucial for Everton FC as they look to bolster their squad and navigate the challenges of the Premier League.
