The agent of Steven Pienaar has demanded his client is given a new deal at Everton before the World Cup kicks off next month.

The South Africa international's current Toffees deal is set to expire next year and interest from clubs such as Manchester United and Liverpool indicates he may be looking to move on if a deal cannot be sorted soon.

His agent, Ivan Modia, confirmed talks were ongoing but said he wanted a deal finalised before the tournament in Pienaar's homeland kicks off.

"We recently had a couple of meetings with Everton, we got to agreements on some aspects of the contract but we are still far on some other aspects about the valuation of the player," the agent told Sky Sports News.

"At the moment it is up to them but it is very unlikely we can find a solution before the World Cup.

"He is very loyal to the club and it is up to what Everton want to do.

"To be honest he is really looking forward and hopes they can agree before the World Cup. If nothing happens before the World Cup with Everton we may have to consider other options.

"I am aware of the interest of some big clubs."
