Not Haaland, not Mbappe - but Dominic Calvert-Lewin to Real Madrid

Italian legend left Goodison Park out of nowhere. When Real Madrid calls you back - you say yes. Even though Everton fans didn't have enough time to really bond with Carlo Ancelotti, they still feel great respect towards him.

So - Toffees continue down their own path - coachless.

The dug-outs becoming vacant caused quite a stir - Everton executives are after Rafa Benitez, former manager of their city rivals Liverpool, but the fans are not happy with such a plan. Regardless of Benitez's successes (Champions League won with Liverpool, Europa League with Chelsea, UEFA Cup with Valencia), supporters of Everton are exclusive on their team hiring someone else.

Such turn of events is quite expected but what is not is that their main striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin might follow Ancelotti to Santiago Bernabeu.

Rumours are circulating non-stop how PSG starlet Kylian Mbappe or Dortmund's spearhead Erling Haaland or Tottenham talisman Harry Kane will join Karim Benzema in leading the attack of Los Blancos. But out of blue (pun not intended), reports show up that Real Madrid are interested in moving for Everton forward Calvert-Lewin and could sign the England forward for 70 million USD (7.5 billion KSH).

The first thing that usually occurs when a manager leaves one club for another is the potential raid on his former club and it might be the case with Ancelotti and DCL.

The 24-year-old scored 21 goals for Everton last season with the legendary Italian coach in the dugout - it is safe to say that the Italian and the Englishman enjoyed a fruitful manager-striker relationship at Goodison Park.

As most of clubs around the world, financial pressure is towering Everton and their owner Farhad Moshiri. Therefor, they could be forced to accept a bid for the star striker, according to The Sun.

Also, what usually happens when Ancelotti moves clubs is to link him with a reunion with James Rodriguez.

Having previously signed him for Real, Bayern Munich and Everton - it is not strange to say that Ancelotti is a fan of the Colombia midfielder.

Spanish AS recycled reports from Colombia and those suggest Ancelotti wants to bring Rodriguez back to Real.

Toffees lost around 330 million USD (35.5 billion KSH) over the past two years due to the coronavirus pandemic and the report claims Ancelotti will hope to use his knowledge of Everton's financial situation to his advantage.

At the moment, Benzema's back ups are in form of still-a-mistery-at-Bernabeu Luka Jovic and wingers Eden Hazard / Vinicius Junior.

Despite spending most of the season in the hunt for European places, the Toffees only managed a tenth place finish in the Premier League.

Chances of reaching Europe next season for the club from the the blue half of Merseyside have already taken a blow with Ancelotti leaving.
