Winger Everton Gerard Deulofeuu, who leases for Milan, most likely will not return to his native club - Barcelona.

In this season, Deulofeu finally found his game, showing a very vivid football in the rosso-neri. Gerard showed himself so well in Serie A that he deserved the challenge to the national team of Spain, and the club that brought him up showed interest in the player - Barcelona.

Catalans have the first right to purchase a football player from Everton for 12 million euros, and were thinking about strengthening their line-up in Milan Deulofeu. Nevertheless, the footballer himself after long meditations decided that he should not return to Catalonia.

As reported by Marca, Gerard realizes that the place in the attack of Barcelona is firmly entrenched for the trio of Lionel Messi - Luis Suarez - Neimar, which he will not be able to compete with. At the same time, Deulofeu wants to get enough game practice, and not to heat the bench.

Another factor that convinced the player not to move to Barcelona, ??is the departure from the post of head coach of blue-garnet Luis Enrique.

The Spaniard was personally interested in signing Gerard, but whether he would prove to be the right future mentor Deulofeu does not know.

Barca herself also cooled to the idea of ??signing the winger Everton. The rather complex nature of the player, who always strives to be in the lead, is well known for the blue-garnet. The club understands that Gerard will be dissatisfied with the role of the reserve player, but in this capacity the Catalans consider him.

This season, Deulofeu scored 2 goals and 3 assists in 15 Serie A games.
