Everton winger Bernard resists bumper Al Hilal offer

Everton winger Bernard has turned down a lucrative offer from Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia.

The 28-year-old Brazilian has fallen down the pecking order under Carlo Ancelotti at Everton having made just two appearances this season, both arriving in the Carabao Cup against Salford City and Fleetwood Town.

But, nonetheless, Bernard remains keen to fight for his place and Goal reports that he rejected an approach from Al Hilal at the weekend.

Bernard featured in 30 games for Everton in 2019-20 but the summer arrival of James Rodriguez from Real Madrid has significantly hampered his game-time.
