Abdoulaye Doucoure Breaks Silence on His Everton Future
Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure has finally spoken out about his future with the club. The 32-year-old’s contract is set to expire in the summer, and it appears that his time at Goodison Park may be coming to an end.
In an interview with The Times, Doucoure expressed his gratitude to the club and its fans, stating that he has had a “great time” at Everton. However, he also acknowledged that his future is uncertain, saying that he is now a free agent and has “some possibilities” to consider.
Doucoure’s comments suggest that he is prepared to leave Everton in the summer, but he also emphasized his commitment to the club for the remainder of the season. “For the moment, nothing has been discussed, so let’s see what’s going to happen in the next couple of months,” he said.
The midfielder’s situation is complicated by his high wages, which are reportedly £130,000 per week. This makes him the highest earner at Everton, and it is likely that the club’s owners, The Friedkin Group, will be reluctant to offer him a new contract on similar terms.
Doucoure’s departure would mark the end of an era at Everton, where he has been a key player for several seasons. He has made over 150 appearances for the club and has scored some important goals, including the winner against Bournemouth in 2023 that helped keep Everton in the Premier League.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Doucoure remains committed to Everton for the time being. “Even if I leave, inside my heart I will always be a blue,” he said.
