Another bad news hits Everton: The head coach of Everton shed tears as four of his star players made a final decision to terminate their huge contracts.
Everton has received more unfavorable news: Four of its finest players have decided to end their enormous contracts, causing the head coach to cry.
The contract was ended ‘by mutual consent’ after one additional year. One of the most loaded terms in football jargon, it alludes to broken expectations or rifts in the locker room—a threshold beyond which neither the player nor the club can go.
The player found the language employed by the Olympiacos in their succinct statement, which demanded a halt to their relationship with James Rodriguez, to be uncannily identical.
After a turbulent year in the Middle East, Rodriguez’s previous club, Al-Rayyan in Qatar, mutually agreed to his departure before the Colombian playmaker joined the Super League Greece squad. It has been less than eight months since then. Prior to that, there was a period at Everton, which concluded with a hint of animosity and disappointment.
Though the 31-year-old’s playing career began with a bang at Envigago, a second division team with dubious connections to a drug cartel lord who was later placed on the US Treasury’s blacklist, he has been in the news for practically the whole time.
