But reports claim he is on the verge of leaving after 18 months in charge to replace Zinedine Zidane in the Spanish capital.

Everton have been contacted by the PA news agency and are yet to respond.

Zidane resigned as Real manager last week after they failed to win a trophy during the 2020-21 season.
