According to Football Insider, the Toffees are willing to sell the winger for ‘as little as £3m’ in the next transfer window (via @ToffeeTVEFC), which had lots of fans talking.

Just rip his contract up. Another disastrous signing by koeman/Walsh. I think clubs will think 3millions a bit steep too.

Will the Toffees be able to find a buyer willing to pay £3 million for Yannick Bolasie?Yes, it could be possibleNo, that is impossible |
As mentioned by one supporter, if the club did sell Bolasie for £3 million, the Toffees would make a loss of £22 million on the signing after securing his services for £25 million from Crystal Palace in 2016 (per BBC).
For their £25 million, the Toffees have received two goals and four assists over 32 appearances in four years from the DR Congo attacker (per Transfermarkt), leaving fans with a lot to say.
A catastrophic signing by the club.

Another great signing by Steve Walsh

He won’t take a pay cut and no one will pay his 100k a week wages. He’ll happily sit out his final year.

What do we think?
As can be seen in the responses from these Everton supporters, they are frustrated that the club could be set to make a £22-million loss on the 30-year-old, however, some believe that the Toffees will be lucky to receive the touted £3-million figure.
With the winger having been the eighth-best performer for Sporting CP in the Liga NOS with a 6.76/10 average rating this season (per WhoScored), though, that could be enough to tempt a possible buyer.
