Everton news round-up: Richarlison return mooted amid £33m update
Everton are already preparing for the summer transfer window ahead of their move to the Bramley Moore Dock stadium.
It is likely to be a preseason full of change on Merseyside as the Friedkin Group look to make their stamp on the L4 club.
This could see multiple new signings come in alongside new senior members of staff to supplement David Moyes at the helm.
It will be interesting to see what changes are made before the new season kicks off, but transfers already appear to be planned out.
Here, Goodison News rounds up the latest news from Goodison on 5 March.
Rafa Benitez lined up for shock new job
It is safe to say that Benitez is far from well-liked at Goodison Park after joining in 2021 before being sacked after just seven months.
Most recently the Spaniard was sacked by Celta Vigo and has since gone an entire year without a job.
His unemployed stint could now be set to come to an end after being linked with a move to Scottish Championship side Rangers.
This link has been met with varied reviews in Glasgow with Scottish football journalist Daniel Caw remaining unsure on the idea of him taking over from Barry Ferguson.
Speaking on the Record Sport’s Hotline Live (5 March), he said: “Rafa Benitez’ last few jobs haven’t been great. Look what happened at Everton when he was there, that was a disaster. Real Madrid was a disaster.
Angus Kinnear ‘determined for Leeds United stay’
Kinnear is currently operating as the CEO at Elland Road but has been named as a front-runner to take over the same role with the Toffees.
With that being said, it has been reported that if the Friedkins want to poach him from Leeds they will have to pay compensation to cover his contract which is set to run until 2026.
It has been reported by reliable Everton outlet Bobble [5 March] that the 47-year-old is determined to finish the campaign with the Whites during their push for promotion.
Even with this being the case, talks between the CEO and the Evertonians are now advancing, and if the TFG can hold out until the end of the season, a deal could soon be struck.
