Wouldnt worry about it, none story. No way would we sell him now while we are going for 4th, dont forget the world cup is also coming up and he might play in that, which could rocket his value so if we did sell him it wouldnt be until after that anyway.
No player we value will be going this January
I don't even think we'd sell him in the summer to be honest. Martinez has repeatedly said we don't have sell for financial reasons anymore. He'll sign a new 5 year contract before the World Cup to tie him down, and Barkley himself doesn't want to leave Everton anyway.
That article brought up Fellaini - Fellaini wanted out for 18 months prior to going, put a release clause in his December 2011 contract renewal. Fellaini pushed for the United move. Barkley is not going to push for a move to Chelsea.
The media just blatantly ignore everything Martinez continually says, despite him being spot on in everything he has said since coming to us.
