Everton midfielder Bernard is digging in his heels at Goodison Park.

Bernard has been linked with AS Roma in recent days.

However, the Liverpool Echo says his only thoughts are staying with Everton.

It was claimed in Italy, Bernard was considering a £16m move to Roma so he can link up with his old manager Paulo Fonseca.

The report claimed the 27-year-old was keen to reunite with Fonseca, who he worked with at Shakhtar Donetsk from 2016-2018.
