Greek giants Olympiakos was to bring back Mirallas to the club he played for between 2010 and 2012.

Talks have been held between the two clubs in an attempt to see a move go through before the transfer window slams shut on Thursday.

But Belgian website Het Laatste Nieuws are claiming the Toffees are now ready to reject any offers for their out-of-favour midfielder.

Mirallas was allowed to miss the game at Stamford Bridge and go on international duty with Belgium early in order to sort out his future.

He joined Everton in 2012 and has gone on to make 177 appearances and scoring 39 goals.

But Mirallas has only started two competitive games so far this season including just 13 minutes in the Premier League.

"He was out because he is struggling to deal with moments in the season and was disappointed.

"Everybody can be disappointed, but I expect from everybody to be part of the team.

"If somebody is showing that he is disappointed and his attitude is not the same then I have to make decision."

Asked if Mirallas will remain an Everton player after the transfer window, Koeman said: "I don't know."
