Everton Sell Nathan Patterson to Torino

Overview

• Everton have agreed to a permanent transfer of right-back Nathan Patterson to Torino, with the player travelling to Turin for medicals ahead of a three-year contract reported to run to June 2029.
• Multiple outlets reported the deal on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, with an initial fee of about €1 million and Everton retaining a 30 percent sell-on clause.
• Patterson joined Everton from Rangers in 2022 but struggled for fitness and form and had less than a year left on his Everton contract, which influenced the low upfront fee.
• The sale increases pressure on Everton’s squad after other full-back departures and loans this summer and leaves Vitaliy Mykolenko as the only recognised specialist full-back currently available.
• For Patterson the move offers a chance to reset his career in Serie A, while Torino continue to strengthen defensively with other signings such as Rafik Belghali.
