Everton have several first-team stars who are out of contract at the end of the season.
It looks set to be a summer of change as the Toffees prepare for their move to Bramley-Moore Dock.
Kevin Thelwell is set to leave Everton as The Friedkin Group prepare a shakeup off the field.
Angus Kinnear is in line to be appointed as Everton CEO as part of that shakeup.
And there will likely be plenty of changes in the playing squad as well as in the boardroom, with a host of first-team stars out of contract in June.
However, if Everton get their way, one of those players won’t be going anywhere this summer.
Everton keen to offer Idrissa Gueye new contract
According to Graeme Bailey [via Everton News, 1 March], Everton are keen to offer Gueye fresh terms with the club.
The 35-year-old is one of a host of players who is out of contract at the end of the season.
And ex-Goodison scout Bryan King – speaking exclusively to Goodison News – has suggested how long of a deal Gueye could be offered by the Toffees.
“They will offer him a one-year extension,” King said.
“That is all I can see for him really, an extra year perhaps with the option for another year. That would take him to 37 years old. However, you can’t beat experience, and this is a very experienced player.

“He has done a good job for Everton. Therefore, a one-year extension with the possibility of another year if he fulfils what Everton think he is going to fulfil seems fair.”
Everton would be wise to keep hold of Gueye
A host of players who are out of contract at the end of the season are currently first-team regulars, including Gueye.
Therefore, the Toffees will be keen to keep hold of as many of these players as possible to avoid the need to spend big in the summer transfer window.
As a result, if a deal can be agreed with Gueye, that would be a great first step.
