Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti says he won't push Bernard out of the club.

The midfielder has been linked with AS Roma.

Ancelotti said, “If the player desires to stay here we are not going to force him to leave.

“Until now he is happy to stay here. He didn't play a lot but he never came to say: 'I want to leave,' and we don't want him to sell him, full stop.

"This is the situation at the moment."
