Dominic Calvert Lewin has confirmed that he will leave Everton after his contract expires this summer, and Manchester United is currently in the lead in the battle to bring the striker for free.

Everton striker Dominic Calvert Lewin announced that he will leave the Toffees after his contract expires, and Manchester United is currently in the battle for his lead.

The 28-year-old has played at Goodison Park for nine years and will enter the transfer market as a free transfer after his contract expires on July 1, and it is rumored that Manchester United had contacted his transfer last summer. United coach Ruben Amorin has made strengthening his poor offensive line his main task this summer, setting a record for a variety of negative reasons in the poor Premier League season last season.

Manchester United is close to signing Brian Mbeumo for over £60 million, which will make the Brentford striker their second summer signing after Mattus Cunha moved from Wolves for £62.5 million. This means two players will join the club, who have scored a total of 35 goals last season in the Premier League.

Manchester United are eager to add some real fire to their frontlines and urgently need to bring in a real center to lead their attack. Victor Giocres has long been their target, and Liam Delp rejected the opportunity to transfer to Manchester United and instead chose to join their Premier League rival Chelsea.

According to bookmaker odds, Manchester United is more likely to introduce Calvert Lewin after his contract expires, according to the Manchester Evening Post.

It was suggested that Amorin's team was expected to successfully introduce the player with 5/1 odds, while Newcastle United (6/1) and Leeds United (9/1) were behind the competition.

Calvert Lewin confirmed that he would leave Everton on Sunday. The club is preparing for moving to Hill Dickinson Stadium on the Mersey River.

"After an extraordinary nine years on this team, I made an extremely difficult decision with my family to start a new chapter in my career," he wrote on social media. "It's not an easy decision. Everton has been my home since I was 19."

"This is where I discovered my potential, promoted me and shaped my image as a player and as a man. I want to express my gratitude to all the managers and coaches I have worked with over the years, and to my teammates who have become friends of my life."

Most importantly, I want to say a few words to you, the fans. Your enthusiasm is the lifeblood of this team. No matter how good or bad your support has never wavered. Celebrating the goal at Goodison Park and feeling the cheers is an experience I will cherish forever.

"Deciding to leave was not just about me—it was the choice I made after a long discussion with my family. We believe that now is the right time to pursue new challenges and continue to grow, but that does not reduce the emotions I always share with Everton."

I am extremely proud of the achievements we have made together, playing side by side when the club needs it most, scoring key goals at critical moments, and wearing this jersey with dedication and pride.

"I hope to leave with your respect, I know that I have been working hard to uphold the values ​​of this great club. Thank you for everything. I have always understood the meaning of playing for Everton since my first day. Come on for the Toffees."
