The Everton star is in the final year of his contact at Goodison Park and will not pen a new deal on Merseyside.

And according to the Daily Mail, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal are monitoring the England international's situation.

They say there will likely be a bidding war at the end of the transfer window for the 23-year-old, who is also wanted by Tottenham.

Barkley is currently sidelined with a groin injury and didn't travel on Everton's pre-season tour.

Reports this week suggested Barkley had asked Tottenham to pay him £150,000-a-week and make him their top earner.

Everton have signed Ajax captain Davy Klaassen and are in the hunt for Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Should the Toffees land the Swansea star, Barkley's Everton career could be over.

United and Chelsea are keen to spend big this summer.

Both sides have Champions League football to focus on again next season following a year out of the competition.
