# Everton issue ultimatum to star-man as summer exit seems increasingly likely

**Everton fans in the Transfer Tavern are worried about the business their club will have to complete in the summer transfer window, as Ronald Koeman’s side look set for a major rebuild.**

Romelu Lukaku looks increasingly likely to leave Goodison Park and Ross Barkley could follow him, after the England international delayed a decision on a fresh deal to remain with the Merseyside outfit- and Koeman is now getting tough.

[*The Daily Express*](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/798224/Ronald-Koeman-Everton-Ross-Barkley-Tottenham-Premier-League-Transfer-News-Gossip)[states](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/798224/Ronald-Koeman-Everton-Ross-Barkley-Tottenham-Premier-League-Transfer-News-Gossip) the Dutch manager has become fed-up with waiting for Barkley to decide on his future and has issued a huge ultimatum to the midfield, making it clear he’ll approve a summer sale if a new deal is not signed.

Barkley has been offered a new £100k-a-week deal to remain with the Toffees but a decision from the midfield ace has been delayed, putting Everton in a sticky situation as the England international’s current deal is set to expire next summer.

The double-your-money offer comes amidst growing interest from rival Premier League sides but our landlord believes Everton would receive a huge fee for Barkley’s services this summer, although he adds he doesn’t feel it’s the right time for Barkley to leave.
