Barry linked with Palace and Newcastle for January
The situation
The story today is a loose one. Thierno Barry, the 24-year-old France attacker Everton signed from Villarreal in July 2025 for €30m, is said to be of interest to Crystal Palace, with Newcastle United also linked. There is no bid, no asking price and no agreed terms in any of the reporting, only a claim that several clubs are weighing him up ahead of the January 2027 window, which opens on 1 January. Barry has 30 months left on his Everton deal, running to June 2029, so Everton hold every card here.
The reporting
The sourcing is weak. The claim traces to a report from fussball-news, carried by CaughtOffside by 9 November. No trusted reporter has backed it, and every outlet repeating it is a tabloid or an aggregator, so this is one voice passed along rather than several separate confirmations.
The outlook
This is a long way from happening. For anything to firm up, a club would need to make a real approach, Everton would need to entertain selling a player they paid €30m for last year, and a fee would need to surface. None of that exists yet.
What to watch
The trigger to watch for is a firm bid landing at Everton, or a trusted reporter backing the story. Until then it stays a rumour.
