Everton head into the 2026/27 season settled into their new Hill Dickinson Stadium home, with the Friedkin Group needing to back David Moyes in the transfer market as the club looks to kick on from a solid but unspectacular first season at their new ground.
With a mix of experienced squad players moving on and fresh faces coming through the door, it’s been a summer of change on Merseyside as they rebuild to look upwards in the Premier League table rather than over their shoulders.
Here, Football FanCast tracks every confirmed Everton signing and departure for the 2026/27 campaign.

Merlin Rohl arrives from Freiburg for around £22m, with the German attacking midfielder brought in to add creativity to Moyes’ options in the final third. Rohl spent last season on loan with the Toffees, scoring once in the Premier League from 16 appearances.
Tyrique George also makes a loan move permament, joining from Chelsea for around £18m after an impressive temporary stay on Merseyside last season, while Hayden Hackney completes a move from Middlesbrough.
Hackney was a standout performer in Boro’s promotion push, starting 43 out of 46 Championship games.

Idrissa Gueye, Tyler Onyango and long-serving captain Seamus Coleman have all left the Hill Dickinson on free transfers this summer, with Everton opting not to renew any of the trio’s contracts.
The Toffees have not yet made any sales, making it difficult for Moyes to splash the cash on incomings.
Who is Everton’s Record Signing?
Everton’s record signing is Gylfi Sigurdsson, who joined from Swansea City in 2017 for a fee of £45m.
The Iceland international never quite lived up to the price tag over the following five years, scoring just 31 times in 156 appearances, but the size of the fee has stood the test of time as the Toffees’ biggest ever outlay on a single player.

Who is Everton’s Record Sale?
Everton’s record sale is Romelu Lukaku, sold to Manchester United in 2017 for £75m.
The Belgian striker starred at Goodison Park between 2013 and 2017, scoring goals freely after first arriving on loan from Chelsea, before United and Jose Mourinho came calling with a deal that could have risen as high as £90m.
The Belgium star has one of the highest combined fees of all time from his various moves over the last decade, with clubs spending over £314m on the striker in total.
