“After nine remarkable years at this club, l’ve made the incredibly difficult decision-together with my family-to begin a new chapter in my career. This isn’t something I chose lightly. Everton has been my home since I was 19 years old.
“It’s the place that saw potential in me, challenged me to grow, and shaped me both as a footballer and as a man. I want to express my gratitude to all the managers and coaches l’ve worked with over the years, and to my teammates who have become lifelong friends,” he posted on Instagram.
