# Key Everton man hints at move

**Everton fans in the Transfer Tavern have expressed their concerns following comments from manager Ronald Koeman, who only took charge of the club last summer.**

The Toffees have seen their form dramatically improve under the guidance of the former Southampton boss this season, and they’re braced for a return to the Europa League, although they face a battle to keep hold of key names.

Romelu Lukaku and Ross Barkley have both been linked with high-profile exits this summer and fans may have similar concerns about losing Koeman, who [revealed to Spanish outlet *Diario Sport*](https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/ronald-koeman-ilusion-entrenar-dia-barca-6014456)he dreams of managing Barcelona.

> “Everyone knows I’m a Barca man, they know my love for the club where I grew as a player and a person. And like everyone, I am an ambitious person — I think there are always things left to be done.”
>
> “I am at Everton, which is also an important project. The club want to strengthen and want to play in the Champions League, but of course I have dreams as a person.”
>
> “To one day be the manager of Barcelona… perfect. Another dream is to be the Holland manager. Both Barcelona and Holland, if there is a chance in the future — and the future can be very long — I would be delighted.”

Whilst Koeman’s comments don’t suggest an imminent move, Barcelona could be tempted to make an approach for the Everton boss this summer as they seek to find a replacement for Luis Enrique.

However, our landlord believes Koeman will remain at Goodison Park for now but he expects the Dutch boss to manager Barcelona after whoever takes Enrique’s seat.
