Abdoulaye Doucoure said Everton ‘know his position’ as he acknowledged there was uncertainty over his future at the club.
The midfielder, who opened up on his love for the Blues and desire to commit to a new deal last summer, is out of contract at the end of this season.
Everton have the option to extend the agreement by a further 12 months but are yet to trigger that clause and Doucoure said finding a compromise currently appeared difficult - though he said his main focus was on the club’s survival battle. Sean Dyche recently stressed contract negotiations were not the priority amid the club’s fight against relegation from the Premier League.
