📝 Everton Make Major Move: Thierno Barry Signs as Calvert-Lewin Replacement, Eyes on Grealish and More

 

Everton Football Club has taken a significant step in reshaping its squad this summer by agreeing a £28 million deal (potentially rising to £35 million with add-ons) for Thierno Barry from Villarreal. The 22-year-old French striker is set to replace long-time Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who recently departed the club.

This marks the beginning of a fresh era at Everton, as the club’s new ownership looks to bolster the squad ahead of the team’s move to the Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium.


⚽ Who is Thierno Barry?

  • Age: 22

  • Height: 6'4"

  • Previous Clubs: Reims (France), Villarreal (Spain)

  • Goals Last Season (La Liga): 11

Barry is known for his physical presence, aerial strength, and finishing ability. At 6'4", he offers Everton a powerful target man who can thrive in the Premier League's physical environment. His performances with Villarreal and France’s U21s have earned praise, and many see him as a striker ready for the next big step.


🔄 Everton’s Transfer Hunt Continues

While Barry’s signing is a big win, Everton aren’t stopping there. Manager David Moyes and the club’s leadership are reportedly targeting multiple other reinforcements to strengthen all areas of the pitch.

🎯 Key Transfer Targets:

  • Jack Grealish (Manchester City) – Potential loan move for the England star.

  • Ben Doak (Liverpool) – A rising teenage winger being tracked for long-term potential.

  • Sean Longstaff (Newcastle) – A combative midfielder admired by Moyes.

  • Wilfried Ndidi (Leicester City) – Defensive midfield experience and strength.

  • Morten Frendrup (Genoa) – A €25m-rated central midfielder with high energy and work rate.

  • Kyle Walker (Manchester City) – Veteran right-back in advanced talks.

  • Kyle Walker-Peters – Free agent option if Walker deal stalls.


🏟️ A New Chapter for the Toffees

The signing of Barry comes as Everton prepares to transition into a new era, with their new stadium set to open soon and fresh ownership under the Friedkin Group, who also own AS Roma. Their ambition to transform Everton into a competitive force again is clear, with both smart investments and a renewed sense of purpose.


📣 Final Thoughts

The arrival of Thierno Barry signals Everton’s intent to evolve and challenge. Replacing Calvert-Lewin was no small task, but Barry could offer a blend of youth, size, and goal-scoring instincts that makes him a perfect fit. If they manage to land other targets like Grealish or Walker, Everton could quickly become one of the most improved sides in the league heading into the 2025/26 Premier League season.


What do you think?
Can Barry be the spark Everton needs? Will Moyes land his other targets?
