Neal Maupay has officially secured an exit from Everton and is now on his way to join Marseille. The French striker couldn't be happier to leave behind his time at Goodison Park and start fresh with a new team. Maupay joined Everton from Brentford in 2022, but unfortunately, he only managed to score one goal in 29 appearances during his first season with the Toffees.
Last season, Maupay spent most of his time on loan back at Brentford. However, he returned to Everton in the summer and has since been an unused substitute in the first two Premier League games of the season. But now, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the 28-year-old has agreed to join Marseille on loan with the obligation to buy.
Upon hearing this news, Maupay posted a clip from The Shawshank Redemption on his social media, showing the lead character, Andy Dufresne, emotionally celebrating his escape from prison. Although Maupay didn't add a caption to the video, it was clear that he was overjoyed to be leaving Everton and returning to his home country.
In the midst of all this, a video surfaced over the weekend of Everton players boarding a train in London after their 4-0 defeat to Tottenham. As the players approached the carriages, some Toffees fans were waiting for them at the platform and started shouting abuse. One person was even heard to yell, "F*** off, you f***ing rat. F***ing 80 grand a week? You f***ing w****r."
In response to this, Maupay took to social media and wrote, "Imagine another job where it's normal to receive abuse like this. Hanging around at a train station to scream at men who are trying their best..." Even the team's manager, Sean Dyche, acknowledged Maupay's tough run at Everton and expressed his uncertainty about Maupay's future with the club.
But now, with his move to Marseille, Maupay can leave all that behind and focus on his new journey with the French club. He is excited for this new opportunity and is grateful to be leaving behind the negativity and criticism he faced at Everton. As for the Toffees, they will have to find a way to move on without Maupay's talents on the field.
