Fabrizio Romano issues Everton transfer update on Jean-Philippe Gbamin contract
Everton and Jean-Philippe Gbamin have mutually agreed on terminating the contract of the midfielder, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The 27-year-old was linked with an exit this summer and the Toffees have now made the decision to part ways.
An official announcement is imminent with it not being made official thus far by either party.
Romano said on Kick at 23:22, “Gbamin contract mutually terminated at Everton.”
Good riddance
Surely there will not be many at Goodison Park who will miss the Ivory Coast international.
Since his move to Everton, he has seldom been fit and despite being at the club for four years, is yet to make appearances in the double digits.
They would’ve hoped to get a fee for his services but it turns out that there was no interest from anyone to secure his services.
He’ll at least be off the wage bill and he will have demanded a certain compensation from the club but it was mutually agreed on.
It remains to be seen how much he demanded and whether or not the Toffees made any efforts to find buyers for him.
He was understood to be on decent wages too so this has to go down as one of the worst signings in the club’s history.
