# Everton: Conor Coady could leave even if Toffees stay up

**[Transfer expert Dean Jones](https://twitter.com/DeanJonesSoccer) says that Conor Coady could leave [Everton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/) after his loan spell ends, even if they stay up in the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/).**

### The Lowdown: Permanent deal expected

It was [reported](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/conor-coady-transfer-news-wolves-premier-league/) last month that Everton ‘expect’ to sign Coady on a permanent deal this summer, as they have a £4.5m option to buy in his contract.

They ‘fully intend’ to trigger the option, and [Sean Dyche](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/sean-dyche/) is thought to be a ‘big admirer’ of the central defender.

Coady himself is ‘very happy’ at Goodison Park, and would be ‘eager’ to stay rather than go back to Wolves.

### The Latest: Uncertain future

Speaking to [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/everton-conor-coady-premier-league-transfer-news-sean-dyche-goodison-park/) however, Jones says that there are ‘doubts’ Coady will stay if the Merseyside club are relegated, but contrary to reports, staying up does not necessarily mean that he will stay either:

*“If Everton go down, there are definitely doubts about him staying, even if they stay up, I’m not wholly sure if he’s going to be staying either. It’s a strange one, but Conor Coady is an uncertain situation.”*

### The Verdict: Keep him

Coady may have [lost his place](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/conor-coady/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/128901/plus/0?saison=&verein=29&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) in the starting line-up in recent games, but Dyche’s team should still be looking to keep him beyond this season, with £4.5m a potential bargain for what he could offer.

The England international has actually been one of the Toffees’ standout performers, ranking highly among his team-mates for average aerial duels won, as well as clearances, blocks and passes per match, while he has contributed a goal and an assist at the other end of the pitch ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/31/Show/England-Everton)).

He has also been lauded as having ‘[quality](https://www.footballinsider247.com/everton-could-now-sign-conor-coady-for-nothing-after-journalists-new-reveal-pundit/)‘ and leadership skills by pundit Noel Whelan, and is a great character to have in the dressing room, regardless of whether he starts games or not.
