Overview
- Everton confirmed Friday that Gueye has left the club after his contract expired and that he will pursue a new challenge elsewhere following recent talks with the club.
- The 36-year-old made 236 appearances across two spells at Everton and was voted the club's player of the season in 2024–25 and twice won the players' player award.
- Manager David Moyes paid public tribute to Gueye's professionalism and leadership, saying his influence in the dressing room and on the pitch was crucial for the squad.
- Media reports describe a move to Al Diriyah as expected but developing, and those reports stop short of a full, club-confirmed transfer at this stage.
- Gueye's exit closes a long career that included a 2019 move to Paris Saint‑Germain where he won domestic titles, and it leaves Everton with midfield decisions to make about experience and squad balance.
