Idrissa Gueye’s contract at Everton is set to expire in less than four months.
The Senegal international has been a consistent presence for Everton this season, retaining his place in the lineup even after David Moyes took over from Sean Dyche in January. He has made 29 appearances across all competitions this campaign.
Five days ago, Africa Foot reported that Everton might attempt to keep the midfielder beyond this season. Senegalese agent Bassirou Sakho emphasized that the 35-year-old will be the sole decision-maker regarding his future.

A new report from Africa Foot now claims that Gueye is ‘close to extending’ his stay at Goodison Park.
The former Paris Saint-Germain player has reportedly reached an agreement with Everton on a new contract.
Gueye returned to the Merseyside club in 2022 and has since become a key figure in Everton’s starting lineup. His performances over the past two seasons have convinced the Premier League side to offer him an extension.
Gueye’s contract situation had attracted interest from several clubs in Saudi Arabia, though specific details about these suitors were not disclosed. However, it appears this interest will be irrelevant, as he is set to sign a new deal that will keep him at Everton until 2026.
As a result, Gueye will continue to play in the Premier League for at least one more season.
