Everton's squad remains unchanged as the transfer window opens during the ongoing World Cup. Initial interest in Middlesbrough's Hayden Hackney has stalled due to valuation disagreements, while negotiations for Jack Grealish and Tyrique George show little progress. With an urgent need for player acquisitions, the club faces criticism for not moving quickly enough, especially with compensation payments due to Burnley. If action is not taken soon, Everton may miss key opportunities to strengthen their team this summer.

- •Jack Grealish's potential signing remains unresolved despite his injury status.
- •Negotiations continue over Tyrique George without further public progress.
