Richarlison’s agent jets out to discuss Everton-PSG transfer
Richarlison’s agent Giuliano Bertolucci has jetted into Paris to discuss the Everton forward with Paris Saint-Germain, according to Max Bielefeld.
Writing via his personal Twiter account in the early hours of Friday morning, the Sky Sports Germany journalist reported that Bertolucci will “hold talks with PSG over a potential move” for Richarlison as a possible replacement for Kylian Mbappe.
According to the graphic on Bielefeld’s tweet, Richarlison is valued at around £46.3million.
However, the Blues signed him for £50million from Watford in 2018.
No way should this happen.
We’ve spent all summer waiting for Marcel Brands to considerably strengthen the Everton squad and that hasn’t happened yet.
While Demarai Gray and Andros Townsend aren’t awful additions, they’re hardly players who stand out and make you think, ‘yes, we’ll definitely qualify for Europe now’.
Selling Richarlison would see Rafa Benitez’s squad go backwards by a long way as the Brazilian international is one of the best players at the club.
Richarlison has started both of Everton’s Premier League fixtures this term, scoring and assisting in the win over Southampton on the opening day.
Last term, the ex-Watford star scored 13 times in 40 appearances across all competitions as he struck a good chord up front with Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
If we sell Richarlison, we’ll find it incredibly difficult to replace him.
However, there’s no doubt that PSG would pay big money for the South American forward and that could really help Benitez add players in other positions.
We’ll see how this pans out but we really don’t want to see him leave.
