Everton are due to undergo major squad surgery this summer transfer window.
Everton have one of the oldest squads in the Premier League so they must start planning for the future with younger recruits.
Many of their senior players are out of contract in the summer and face uncertain futures, like Idrissa Gana Gueye, Ashley Young and Seamus Coleman, to name only a few.
Gana Gueye may end up staying for another year after his sensational form but Coleman and Young are likely to leave.
And, it now seems certain Abdoulaye Doucoure will leave Everton at the end of the season when his contract expires.
Supporters have now been reacting to that news.

@dmj_87 posted: “Great move from TFG, we clearly don’t want to be overpaying 32yr olds. It’s a young mans game at the minute. Showing ambition.”
“Peaked at the Bournemouth goal to keep us up….since then legs have gone…thank you for your service but go the middle east n earn a wedge in a slower league big dukes,” @AndySmi81928169 explained.
@FPALeipzig said: “Gareth Farrelly also scored an important goal, but he was another bang average player, its time to shake hands and say au revoir.”
“Well good luck to him and we thank him for all he has done. I would keep him on reduced terms as a squad player but that would be it. If he gets better terms elsewhere and moves on then fair do’s,” @aide_dews said.
Doucoure wanted by Premier League clubs
It’s understood Premier League clubs are showing an in Doucoure ahead of the summer window.
The Mali international will become a free agent at the start of July, so there will be a queue of clubs lining up to sign him.
The Saudi Pro League could also be a potential destination for Doucoure, who is approaching the end of his career.
Many Everton fans have noticed that the 32-year-old is on the decline.
