Everton have offered new deals to three soon-to-be out of contract players.
Captain Seamus Coleman, Tom Davies and goalkeeping understudy Andy Lonergan all have the option to extend their stays at Goodison Park.
Should he agree terms Coleman’s association with the Blues will be extended to a 15th year, making him the longest serving current first-team player.
The club also confirmed on Friday that another three senior players are set to depart Sean Dyche’s side when their current deals expire at the end of June.
Yerry Mina and Andros Townsend will leave alongside Asmir Begovic, who turned down an offer to remain as Everton’s second-choice goalkeeper.
Everton director of football Kevin Thelwell said: “Everyone at the club wishes to thank all departing players for their contribution throughout their time at Everton.
“We’re also grateful to our senior men’s players who are moving on, including Yerry – whose passion and determination for Everton was evident by how highly he was thought of by our fans – to Andros and Asmir who were consummate professionals during their two years at the club.
“We wish all of them the best with the next chapters in their careers.
“We have also offered new contracts to players and we will continue talking with them as we look to build a competitive squad for Sean Dyche and his staff for the new season.”
