With Everton's pre-season trip to Portugal now over, Marco Silva is getting ready to make some big decisions in the transfer market.

The Blues are preparing to make their first signing of the summer, with Richarlison set to have a medical with the club ahead of a proposed switch from Watford.

But it's outgoings that are another major concern - and one which the boss claims he is ready to make decisions on.

Silva admitted that he has made up his mind of which players he wants to keep on board and which he thinks should be moved on after the squad's trip to Portugal this weekend.

And we've had a look at a few names who might find themselves most at risk:

Yannick Bolasie

Being left at home from the Portugal camp with a stomach bug won't have helped Yannick Bolasie's chances at all.

The winger hasn't played any part in Everton's pre-season so far and will have only had training sessions to try and impress his new manager.

The 29-year-old returned from a serious injury in December but, understandably really, failed to truly find his feet again before the season ended.

With the Blues set to sign a new £35m player in his position, you can only think that his place in the squad must be at risk - especially given the fact that multiple clubs both in the Premier League and abroad are interested in signing him.

Sandro Ramirez

He's certainly given it his best in pre-season, there's no denying that.

But has it been enough to convince the manager after what he will have analysed from the Spaniard's performances last term?

Sandro Ramirez was hailed as one of the bargains of the summer by some this time last year, but his spell on Merseyside hasn't gone according to plan so far.

The striker was loaned out to Sevilla for the second half of last term to little avail and has spent the majority of pre-season playing on the wing.

He's looked bright in spells, but hasn't quite managed to put the finishing touch on any of his performances thus far.

If Silva sees him as a winger, then he'll surely soon find himself behind Theo Walcott in the pecking order on the right hand side, with Ademola Lookman and Richarlison battling for the left-wing position.

Will someone on his high wages being a fourth-choice striker or back-up winger be tolerated? It will certainly make finding a suitable club to sign him difficult, which could be the Spaniard's saving grace.

Kevin Mirallas

Another man who has been impressive in pre-season, but will it have been enough to convince the manager?

Everton fans will know all about Kevin Mirallas and his inconsistent form at this point - and Silva will certainly have done his research into the Belgian international too.

After struggling to find his way into the a poor Blues starting XI last term, the winger was shipped out on loan to former club Olympiakos in a bid to find form.

He didn't.

Mirallas was eventually sent back to Everton early after showing poor form in Greece, and the 30-year-old will now find himself even further down the pecking order with the Blues.

Ashley Williams

Everton are in the hunt for a new centre-back this summer, so you'd presume that means someone has to be let go from the current squad.

Mason Holgate is an exciting youngster with great recovery pace and an ability to bring the ball out from the back, so he will surely stay.

Phil Jagielka is not only the club captain but, arguably, is still the best quality centre-back still at the club - whilst Michael Keane cost the Blues a lot of money last summer and might be given another chance to prove his investment.

That leaves Williams, who hasn't played a competitive match for Everton since his sending off away to Burnley in March.

The problem here would be finding a suitable club to buy him, however...

Davy Klaassen

He's a man that divided opinion among Everton fans for so long last season.

Davy Klaassen has failed to truly find his feet in the English game since his big-money move to Goodison Park from Ajax last summer.

There were large periods of last term in which the Dutch international was left out of the Blues squad altogether, meaning he only made 16 appearances in all competitions.

This pre-season has seen Marco Silva give the midfielder a few chances - but he's hardly pulled up trees with his performances in an attempt to impress his new manager.

Reports from overseas claim there is interest in Klaassen from a number of clubs, and the Blues might find the right bid hard to turn down.
