Everton expected to extend Vitaliy Mykolenko’s contract
Vitaliy Mykolenko has been locked in contract talks since last summer, with his current deal due to expire in June.
Now, Ukrainian outlet Sport Express are reporting that Everton are planning to extend his contract until 2027 amid interest overseas.
Turkish giants Galatasaray are keen on landing his signature and were trying to engage in talks with him this month.
But, Mykolenko has no interest in leaving the Hill Dickinson Stadium, and clearly Moyes wants to keep him in his squad despite rumours linking Antonee Robinson with a return to Merseyside.
It’s understood that the 51-cap Ukraine international wants to remain in a top-five league and doesn’t deem the Super Lig as the right fit for his career.
Everton have been linked to Nathan Ake
Even if Mykolenko signs a new deal, it seems as though Moyes will look to sign an upgrade and make him a backup.
Everton have been linked to Manchester City’s Nathan Ake, who was actually a target in the last transfer window.
Adam Aznou could also be Mykolenko’s successor, but he may need a loan move first to continue his development.
What would YOU do with Adam Aznou in the summer? 🤷♂️
The Toffees are willing to greenlight Aznou’s loan this month, with Dutch powerhouses Ajax showing an interest.
A telling month lies ahead for the Merseysiders.
