Mo Besic has hinted he wants to turn his Sheffield United loan into a permanent switch.
The 27-year-old is due to return to Everton at the end of the season but says he has informed those "who need to know" about his wishes this summer.
Everton would be keen to offload the midfielder who will enter the final 12 months on his Goodison contract in July.
A permanent move to Fulham had been lined up for Besic last summer but he wanted to remain in the Premier League and secured a late move on loan to Chris Wilder's side.
Besic has not played for Everton since the December 2017 Europa League dead rubber against Apollon Limassol and looks has no future at the club.
“The people who need to know what I want, they know. So we will see what will happen," Besic said.
“It’s an unbelievable team, I’m really happy to be here and be part of this.
“I’m just really relaxed. It’s nothing big for me. As long as Chris Wilder is happy I will play for him.”
Besic started for The Blades last night against Manchester City to make his 12th appearance for the club this term.
