The move will cause some concern in Irish quarters, with additional talent coming in to compete for the starting position currently occupied by Ireland captain, Seamus Coleman.
The Donegal man was made to regain his spot after spending some of last term on the Everton bench and could face more time on the sidelines following the Frenchman’s arrival.
Sidibé played an integral part as Monaco won Ligue 1 in 2016/17 and reached the Champions League semi-finals the same season and was part of the France squad that won last year’s World Cup.
“Djibril has fantastic experience, winning titles and playing many matches in a competitive league,” Everton boss Marco Silva told the club website.
“He is a World Cup winner and he has the hunger to achieve much more in his career.”
