before<\/a>, with the Toffees eyeing the left-back in January 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Henrique joined Monaco in 2020He has since made 190 appearances for the Ligue 1 clubHenrique is now a Brazilian international, with five caps to date<\/p>\n<p>However, this interest appears to be renewed, with the report claiming that both Everton and West Ham have contacted the player\u2019s representatives with the intention of understanding the conditions of a deal.<\/p>\n<p>Henrique is highly rated at Monaco, with his former manager Adi Hutter labelling the full-back as \u201cfantastic\u201d to <a

March.<\/p>\n<p>While Henrique is not expected to leave the Ligue 1 side at present due to it potentially affecting his place in the World Cup squad, this surely indicates that <a

scouting for new left-backs and making contact to see if they are available shows that the Ukrainian\u2019s time at Merseyside is coming to an end.<\/p>\n<p>There is no way that Mykolenko would sign a new contract to sit on the bench, especially as an international reaching the peak of his career. Therefore, an exit sooner rather than later seems inevitable.<\/p>\n<p>Which other contracts at Everton are set to expire in the summer?<\/p>\n<p>On top of Mykolenko, Everton have multiple players who are set to depart in the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Keane and Seamus Coleman are perhaps the biggest names, with the former star playing a big role so far this campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Idrissa Gueye\u2019s contract is also up. However, Everton have an option to extend his stay by another year.<\/p>\n<p>On top of this, young goalkeeper Harry Tyrer is also in the last months of his contract.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoyed this article?
