Everton’s Gago ‘free to go’ if £500k fee offered

Manager Brian Sorensen claims that Everton forward Kelly Gago is “free to go” if another club offers the release clause fee in her contract.

Gago, 27, claimed last week that Everton were preventing a move to Paris St-Germain.

She claimed that she was left in tears after witnessing an incident involving one of Sorensen’s coaching staff during a training session and that their treatment of her was “unfair.”

After receiving a contract extension at Everton in June 2025, the France international has two and a half years left on it.

According to what it is understood, Gago’s release clause is about £500,000, and Paris St-Germain made an offer of 50, 000 euros (£43,000) this month.

There are no alleged other bids made for Gago.

She leaves for the moment, she says. She is not physically fit or willing to play. Before Everton’s game against Brighton on Friday (Friday, 19:00 GMT), Sorensen said, “She wants to go.

She is free to leave because her contract includes a release clause that allows the club to pay her.

I don’t believe she’s going anywhere because, as I understand it, there is only 10% of the release clause that has been submitted.

When asked if Gago might return to Everton this season, Sorensen replied, “I don’t know at this point. How everything turns out, we must watch.

According to club sources, Gago’s claims were followed by an internal investigation that exonerated the staff.
