Understandably, who will succeed Luis Enrique at the end of the season is a big deal in the Spanish press these days, and the articles about the subject keep getting published on a daily basis.

The Dutch manager, who spent a vast chunk of his career at Barcelona, has only just arrived at Goodison Park following a spell at Southampton.

In fact, Mundo Deportivo go as far as saying the Everton manager ‘isn’t in the top positions of the azulgrana club’, according to their sources.

Marca even give their readers a nice little graphic about the pros and cons the Dutchman would offer the club were they to go for him.

The cons, and this is also a point made by Mundo Deportivo, is that it would cost the club a hefty chunk of money, estimated to be around €8m, to release him from his current deal at Goodison Park.

It seems Barcelona will have to look somewhere other than the Premier League for their next manager.
