Deulofeu ‘doesn’t want’ Everton FC return

Gerard Deulofeu is reportedly averse to returning to Everton this summer.

Deulofeu spent the second half of last season on loan with AC Milan after failing to regularly force his way into Ronald Koeman’s first-team plans for the Blues.

But the Spain international has now set his sights on a permanent return to the Serie A giants according to reports in Italy.

The Gazzetta dello Sport claim that Deulofeu is unwilling to entertain the prospect of rejoining the ranks at Goodison Park since his January departure.

 

Barcelona are also considering a move for the winger, with the option to trigger a €12 million buy-back clause in the deal which originally took him to Everton.

Since securing a permanent return to Merseyside in summer 2015, Deulofeu had scored just four times in 46 appearances for the Toffees.
