R. Koeman is unsure about R. Barkley's future

Liverpool's "Everton" coach Ronald Koeman admitted that he is not sure if Ross Barkley will stay in the club. The specialist from the Netherlands recently issued an ultimatum to the midfielder - he must sign a new contract with the "toffees" by the end of the season or leave. However, the 23-year-old footballer has not yet accepted the offer presented to him, and his current contract is valid only until next summer. "No. I talked to the player, the club board talked to his agent. I don't know if he doesn't provide an answer. I don't know," Koeman replied when asked if he was sure that Barkley would extend his contract. "We will move on and we have already looked for players in that position. If he stays, there will be more competition." "I am not worried because I like working with players who want to play." "If you offer a player a new contract, and a good one at that, it means you want the player to stay." Barkley appeared in a total of 35 matches in the Premier League this season, scoring five goals and making nine assists.
