Everton manager Ronald Koeman confirms that midfielder Ross Barkley has no future at the club after turning down a new contract.

Everton manager Ronald Koeman has confirmed that midfielder Ross Barkley has no future at the club after turning down a new contract.

The 23-year-old has one year remaining on his current deal at Goodison Park and was given an ultimatum last season that he must commit his future to the club this summer or be sold.

No agreement has been reached between the two parties, and Koeman today said that he "100%" expects the England international to leave the club.

"His personal situation is not so difficult. We made a really good offer to sign a new contract, he declined that contract and told me he's looking for a new challenge," he added to reporters.

"It's his decision. I need to respect that and we'll see what happens, because I heard from the board that there's not really an offer on the table for Ross."

Barkley has been linked with the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal this summer, although Everton have so far refused to budge from their £50m asking price.

Spurs and Arsenal are understood to hold the strongest interest in the midfielder, although the North London duo are unwilling to meet the Toffees' valuation and have also been put off by his wage demands.

Barkley came through the ranks at Everton and has since scored 27 goals in 179 appearances for the senior side.
