Everton boss Roberto Martinez insists Ross Barkley is not for sale.
Martinez insists Barkley is priceless and Everton plan to protect one of this country's most exciting players to ensure he fulfils his potential.
Martinez said: "I would not sell even if we got a huge bid. It would be wrong for him.
"I always feel as manager you develop a relationship with players and you're always honest with that.
"Ross is a phenomenal talent, probably the best English talent I have ever seen, but he is not the finished article yet and you need to be very careful.
"It's our duty to protect him and I know Everton is the perfect place for him for the next 12 months."
