Everton are sleepwalking into Thierno Barry calamity, action must be taken

Barry has two years left on his Everton deal after joining for £27m in summer 2025; the club must extend his contract soon as rival interest grows.

Thierno Barry will enter the final two years of his Everton contract next summer, and the club faces pressure to tie him down to fresh terms before his value peaks. The French striker struggled in his first season after his £27m arrival but has transformed this campaign, scoring 10 goals and providing three assists in 13 games.

His impressive form has already attracted attention from rival clubs across Europe. Everton must act now to secure his future; the two-year mark is often seen as an invitation for other clubs to make moves, and if Barry refuses to sign, Everton may be forced to sell immediately rather than risk losing him on a free transfer.

Barry has previously stated his ambition to prove himself in the Premier League and suggested he wants to spend many years at Everton, but the club cannot afford to wait much longer.
