Richarlison eyeing move to PSG as Real Madrid table Mbappe bid
Richarlison is reportedly keen on leaving Everton to join Paris Saint-Germain and teaming up with compatriot Neymar at the Parc des Princes.
According to Eurosport, sources close to the situation are unsure whether there is enough time left in the window to get a deal over the line, but PSG’s interest is genuine and they will look to sign him next summer.
It also talks about the possibility of things changing at this late stage as Real Madrid are looking to sign French attacker Kylian Mbappe.
While the report details a bid landing next week, Sky Sports Italy journalist Fabrizio Romano has stated that the Spanish side have already tabled an initial offer for him.
Can he actually leave?
It looks like Richarlison is seen as one of the alternatives in case Mbappe leaves the Paris outfit this summer.
Despite signing Lionel Messi, there will be a void that will be left in the attack which the Brazilian could look to fill.
As things stand, he’s happy to stay at Goodison Park for a year, but all that could change should Mbappe move as the money being offered for him is astronomical.
We’re hoping that he at least stays for one more year as it will then give us more time to look for a replacement.
Knowing PSG’s financial muscle, we could demand a huge transfer fee in order to part ways with the 24-year-old.
While there remains a minute possibility, we don’t think Richarlison will be leaving this summer.
