Everton may be in search of more firepower in front of goal in the January transfer market, but they are not desperate enough to consider re-signing Neal Maupay.
Goals have been few and far between for Everton over large parts of the 2025/26 campaign in the Premier League.
Everton News understands that Everton are keen to sign another striker next month when the market opens for business.
Finding the back of the net has been an issue for a number of seasons on Merseyside and David Moyes is still struggling to find the answer.
Ironically, West Ham want to sign former Everton striker Ellis Simms after he has shown his quality in the Championship since leaving Goodison Park.
However, one striker who the Blues will not regret allowing to move on is Maupay and his struggles continue.
Neal Maupay set for another move after Everton exit
Since leaving the Blues, Maupay has endured a horror show at Marseille, with the Frenchman struggling for minutes.
The 29-year-old can barely even make the matchday squad for the Ligue 1 outfit anymore.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Pisa SC could offer a potential landing spot for Maupay in the January window.
Where does Maupay rank amongst the worst-ever Everton striker? 😤
It is suggested that Marseille are keen to sell the striker permanently, but they would be willing to loan him out if required.
The report claims that five months in Serie A could even put him back on the radar to potential buyers in the summer window.
Maupay has issued regular digs towards Everton ever since he left the club on loan for Brentford back in 2023.
One thing that is certain is that the striker is no longer laughing, with the two parties going in complete opposite directions.
Everton are on the up as Maupay struggles
It wasn’t so long ago that Maupay mocked the notion of Everton being anywhere near the Champions League spots.
Now, Everton are pushing for a spot in Europe for next season under Moyes.
Which former Everton striker would you hypothetically bring back to play in the current side? 🤩
Last week marked the first anniversary of The Friedkin Group on Merseyside and the Blues are looking like a club with ambition to really push on.
The Friedkins have transformed Everton’s finances and the Hill Dickinson Stadium is putting the club firmly on the map.
Surely the 29-year-old striker regrets his decisions as he heads in the total opposite direction to his former club.
