According to reports, Man Utd will not budge on their &pound;12 million offer for the left back, with Everton seemingly asking for closer to &pound;18 million for the defender. It is also uncertain whether or not Patrice Evra will be allowed to leave Old Trafford.<br />

After some productive talks between Baines' agent and new Everton manager Roberto Martinez, there has been some progress and it is understood that the defender will sign a new contract within the next 7 days.
