Ronald Koeman has admitted that managing Barcelona is one of two dreams he has in management along with managing the Netherlands.

Koeman is currently manager of Everton.

Ernesto Valverde and Juan Carlos Unzue remain the leading contenders for the Barcelona job.

"I feel flattered and I like that I am thought of," said Koeman about being linked to the job.

"Everyone knows I'm a Barca man, they know my love for the club where I grew as a player and a person. And like everyone, I am an ambitious person -- I think there are always things left to be done.

"I am at Everton, which is also an important project. The club want to strengthen and want to play in the Champions League, but of course I have dreams as a person."
