Ronald Koeman has dismissed reports linking him with the managerial job at Barcelona, stating that he is fully focused on Everton.

Luis Enrique's position at Camp Nou has become a talking point over the last few days, with speculation emerging that he could leave at the end of the season.

Italian publication Sportitalia recently claimed that Barca chiefs have already contacted Koeman about potentially taking over in the near future.

Of course, the Dutchman is no stranger to the Spanish giants as he spent six years at the club during his playing career and later worked within the coaching staff for two years alongside Louis van Gaal.

Koeman has only been in charge of Everton for less than seven months, and it appears that he has no intention of entertaining an offer from Barcelona just yet. He told reporters:

"That is not important at the moment. My name is always linked with Barcelona. I'm not in Barcelona, I'm in Everton.

"The reason I signed is because of the project we have here. We need time, but we want to grow on and off the pitch."

The Toffees currently sit seventh in the Premier League table after picking 30 points from 20 games.

Koeman's team have won just eight of their top-flight fixtures so far this season having lost six and drawn six.

It has been a mixed campaign, with the Merseyside outfit 11 points adrift of the top five.
