"In such football I do not have a place. The football team was terrified by everything, the fans mostly.

"This season, Marco Silva plays different, much nicer football, but has not got results.

"It is true that Everton did not make an expected breakthrough but at least fans now look at the normal football in which the guys, through their actions, are trying to score and win."

Vlasic, who cost Everton £10million, admits he has no future at the club and expects to be sold to the first bidder.

Asked whether he thought he may have a chance next season he added: "Honestly, I do not believe.

"Everton paid about £90million on only three players – Richarlison, (Yerry) Mina and (Lucas) Digne – and is therefore looking for great names and players from big clubs, like Barcelona.

"Despite these immense investments the team is currently in the 11th place, which means there will be new, big purchases.

"When you bring three players out of Barcelona in a few days (Mina, Digne and on-loan Andre Gomes) then it's clear that you do not have much care for those who came from the small league.

"So I expect them to sell me as soon as they get their first bid."
