Idrissa Gueye has less than four months left on his contract at Everton.
The Senegal international has been a regular for Everton this season and maintained his place after David Moyes replaced Sean Dyche in January. He made 29 appearances in all competitions this season.
Five days ago, Africa Foot reported Everton could try to retain the midfielder beyond this season. Senegalese agent Bassirou Sakho stated the 35-year-old will be the only one to make a decision on his future.
A fresh report from Africa Foot states Gueye is ‘close to extending’ his stay at Goodison Park.
The former Paris Saint-Germain man has reached an agreement with the Toffees to a new contract.
He returned to the Merseyside club in 2022 and has been a key figure in Everton’s playing XI. Gueye’s performances since then have convinced the Premier League club to extend his contract.
The player’s contract situation at Everton had resulted in interest from several clubs in Saudi Arabia. Their details aren’t mentioned, and it’s stated it won’t matter because he will sign a new contract until 2026.
Gueye will continue in the Premier League for one more season.
