Everton may be unable to sign any more players until January, but it appears that their transfer business may not yet be done, with Goal reporting that they have received a £6 million bid for Bernard.

The 28-year-old is yet to feature for the Toffees in the Premier League this season. He has however, made two appearances in the Carabao Cup – and scored twice.

And it appears that he has been offered the chance to move on this month. According to Goal, Saudi outfit Al-Hilal have made a £6 million bid for the Brazilian, who has been identified as a top target.

It would appear that the Toffees are yet to respond to the offer. But Goal suggests that Bernard wants to stay at Goodison Park until January at least.

He is yet to feature for Carlo Ancelotti’s side in the league so far.

However, Bernard – who earns £120,000-a-week, according to Spotrac – has been named on the bench for every game. So Everton may be content to hear that he wishes to stay for now.

He could still have a role to play for the Toffees this season. Everton currently have 12 fixtures to contest before the January transfer window opens.

Given that he has regularly been on the bench, you would imagine that Bernard will get an opportunity at some stage – unless anything changes before all of the remaining transfer windows close.
