Report: Benitez now ready to sell two of Marco Silva’s signings at Everton

Everton could yet sell both Yerry Mina and Andre Gomes as Rafael Benitez considers making alterations to his squad, .

Double exit?

Mina and Gomes were both fairly big money additions when Marco Silva was in charge, and the pair were offered sizeable contracts by Everton.

But with Benitez looking to make alterations to their squad, Everton are now looking to cut their wage bill.

And the duo could now be offloaded this summer, after rather disappointing campaigns.

Gomes and Mina both received a sizeable amount of game time with the Toffees last term.

Under-performing?

However, Gomes’ performances came under heavy criticism, while Mina never quite managed to nail down his place in defence.

If Everton were to sell the pair they could surely still fetch sizeable fees for them both.

The pair are still young enough to have plenty of years ahead of them, and they have shown quality throughout their time at Goodison Park.

Benitez would also surely have to replace them both if they did leave.

Gomes and Mina’s departures would leave sizeable holes in Everton’s squad, and the club would likely have to make incoming additions to ensure that they don’t leave themselves short.
