Bernard makes UAE move Bernard has left Everton after signing for Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. A year after a switch to Nasar fell through, an agreement to transfer the Brazilian has been reached as first reported by Greg O'Keeffe of The Athletic. Bernard was signed on a free transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk but struggled to hold down a first-team place under Marco Silva and Carlo Ancelotti. His move to the UAE Pro League is believed to have garnered Everton a nominal fee of around £1m as well as freeing up between £120,000 and £150,000 a week in reported wages.
