Abdoulaye Doucoure has confirmed he will be leaving Everton when his contract expires on June 30. He is open to a move to Saudi Arabia if the wage offered matches his demands of £8m per year. Al-Ettifaq is one of the clubs interested in him.

Abdoulaye Doucoure will leave Everton at season's end, as no contract extension talks are underway. Everton won't trigger a one-year extension due to his wage demands and age. Clubs from the Middle East, including Al-Ettifaq, are interested in signing him on a free transfer. Despite being Everton's highest earner and a key player under David Moyes, the club aims to reduce the squad's age and wage bill. Doucoure has interest from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Turkey, and Germany. Everton may replace him with Charly Alcaraz, depending on Alcaraz starting eight games.
