Everton could be tempted into selling Bernard if an attractive offer comes in for him, the Daily Star report.

Bernard has not been a permanent starter for Everton since Carlo Ancelotti took charge, with the Italian boss seemingly favouring other options.

The Brazilian has still played a rotational role at Goodison Park, but his lack of final product is a concern.

Bernard contributed with just three goals and two assists last seasons, which for a player of his quality was a disappointment.

The diminutive playmaker, who was labelled as ‘fantastic’ by Marco Silva in the Liverpool Echo, is one of Everton’s most impressive players with the ball at his feet.

However, his lack of meaningful contributions in front of goal have seemingly led to his future being left uncertain.

Everton could well make major alterations to their squad this summer, as they struggled to live up to expectations last term.

And it now remains to be seen whether another side will deem Bernard to be worth making a sizeable offer for.
