Barcelona are reportedly interested in Everton manager Ronald Koeman.
Former Rangers and Queens Park Rangers midfielder Ray Wilkins suggested on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT last Friday morning (broadcast from 6am, March 3, 2017) that Ronald Koeman will leave Everton for Barcelona if the Spanish club come calling.
According to The Independent, Barcelona are interested in appointing Koeman as their manager.
Luis Enrique is in charge of the Blaugrana at the moment, but he will leave his role at the end of the season.
Koeman, who was appointed the Everton manager in the summer of 2016, played for Barcelona from 1989 until 1995.
Former Chelsea and Manchester United midfielder Wilkins believes that if he gets the chance, then Koeman would take the Barca job.
“I think he would go, I really do, if they came calling for him,” said Wilkins about speculation linking Koeman with Barcelona on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT last Friday morning (broadcast from 6am, March 3, 2017).
“I think he is a first-class manager. I think the jobs he has done at Southampton and also at Everton have been absolutely first class.”
Koeman has proved himself in the Premier League and knows Barcelona inside out, and it would make sense for the European giants to make an approach for him.
It would be a massive disappointment for Everton if the Dutchman does leave Goodison Park at the end of the season.
The Toffees are seventh in the Premier League table at the moment with 44 points from 27 matches.
