This means Calvert-Lewin will handle his own talks with other clubs. He is a free agent, and many teams are interested in signing him.

Calvert-Lewin, who is 28 years old, has been linked to several clubs, including Leeds United, Sunderland, Manchester United, and Newcastle. He left Everton at the start of the summer.

For now, Calvert-Lewin is not in formal talks with any team. He is using the preseason to get ready for his next move.
