The club's decision to sell Iroegbunam comes after the arrival of new signing Merlin Rohl, who will join Everton at the end of the season in an £18 million deal.

Everton is open to accepting a lower offer for Iroegbunam and is not concerned about taking a loss on the original £9 million transfer fee. The club may also consider a loan exit if there is sufficient interest in the player.

The future of Iroegbunam at Everton remains uncertain, but it is clear that the club is looking to move him on as part of their squad rebuilding efforts.
