Gerard Deulofeu may not have played his last match for Everton .

The Spanish winger last featured for the Blues in an FA Cup tie against Leicester in January, before being allowed to join AC Milan on loan for the rest of the season.

Barcelona have yet to decide whether to exercise a 12m Euro option – but if they decide against resigning the player Koeman hasn’t ruled out a Goodison return.

“Deulofeu has a contract with Everton. Unless something happens he will stay,” he said.

“He needed some playing time and that was the reason we loaned him to Milan.

“If nothing changes I expect him to be at pre-season training. If something does change, then we will talk about it.”

Everton report back for pre-season training on July 3, although Deulofeu is currently on international duty with the senior Spain sqquad ahead of the forthcoming games against Colombia and Macedonia, before linking up with the Under-21 squad to play in the European under-21 Championships.

As a result he would be given an extended break depending on how far Spain’s youngsters progress in the competition.
