Neal Maupay Everton dig could be about to backfire after ironic new transfer claim
The striker could reportedly be sold to a Championship club this summer after his move to Marseille becomes permanent
One of Neal Maupay’s sniping online predictions about Everton could be about to come true. Although not in a way in which the French forward would necessarily want.
The striker, who scored just one goal for the Blues in 32 appearances, is currently on loan at Marseille and is set to leave Goodison Park on a permanent deal this summer. The French club have an obligation to make his loan deal a full-time one.
Although he is still an Everton player, Maupay has taken frequent digs at the club and their supporters in the last couple of years.
The forward infamously posted a meme from the Shawshank Redemption in the summer after his exit from the Blues was confirmed. He also tweeted a dig at Everton after they lost to Nottingham Forest in December: “Whenever I’m having a bad day I just check the Everton score and smile.”
After that post, Maupay then responded to an enraged Everton supporter with “See you in the Champions League next season!” followed up by “*championship”.
Alas, Everton will not be playing in the Championship next season. But their former one-goal striker could be if reports in France are to be believed.
