# Koeman breakdown could reportedly spark big interest from Man United and Tottenham

**For the Everton fans in the Transfer Tavern, this weekend proved to be a relatively drab affair as the Toffees in the bar watched their beloved blues slug out a pretty dull goalless draw away at Middlesbrough.**

Though parts of this season have been full of excitement for the Merseyside outfit, things have somewhat stalled of late, so reports from the [Daily Star](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/587361/Everton-Ross-Barkley-Ronald-Koeman) have caused concern amongst our punters. They’ve [revealed](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/587361/Everton-Ross-Barkley-Ronald-Koeman) Goodison Park hero Ross Barkley is stalling on a new deal with his boyhood charges after a mixed campaign under Ronald Koeman.

[The Times also recently claimed](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/barkley-asks-koeman-why-always-me-5bdbz2jmf) Barkley had confronted the former Southampton boss over his critique of his form throughout the campaign.

Dropped earlier in the campaign after being hauled off at half-time, the Dutchman does not appear to have the best relationship with the 23-year-old and he is [thought](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/587361/Everton-Ross-Barkley-Ronald-Koeman) to be delaying making a decision over this future right away. With only 18 months left on his current contract, the England international could [reportedly](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/587361/Everton-Ross-Barkley-Ronald-Koeman) attract big interest.

Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham are all [mentioned within the report](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/587361/Everton-Ross-Barkley-Ronald-Koeman) as potentially interested parties in Barkley, who undoubtedly has an exceptional talent. The punters from all around the Premier League in the bar believe him to be a good season away from breaking into the European elite, though time is running out for him.

**Where would Barkley fit in best? Let us know below…**
