Everton management calm over Man Utd, Real Madrid Rodwell rumours

Everton management are calm over this week's transfer speculation swirling around Jack Rodwell.

The Liverpool Echo says the Blues are unperturbed about reports linking Real Madrid, Manchester United and Manchester City with interest in midfielder Rodwell.

The injured teenager, who is currently bidding to return to fitness ahead of schedule in time for Saturday's Goodison clash with Sunderland, signed a five-year contract extension last summer and it would take a bid in excess of £20m to get Everton's attention.

One report claimed Madrid boss Jose Mourinho has asked for a scouting dossier to be compiled on Rodwell, and despite suggestions he could favour a summer move to Old Trafford, the England U-21 star is keen to establish himself in Moyes' first team and become part of a successful side at Goodison before he even considers his future.
