Rafael Benitez convinced that Richarlison will stay at Everton
Rafael Benitez has revealed that he is “99.99% certain” that Richarlison will remain at Everton before the transfer window slams shut.
The 24-year-old has been linked with a move to PSG and Real Madrid, but the Spaniard seems determined to keep Richarlison at Goodison Park.
Dominic King revealed exactly what the Spaniard thinks of the Brazilian on his Twitter account, and it appears as if he is confident that he can keep the former Watford man.
He said: “I’m 99.99 per cent certain he will stay. I’m happy with him, he’s happy here, and he wants to score goals. This is speculation that has no sense. We are working on the players we want to get.”
Richarlison to stay?
Richarlison has scored and provided an assist in his first two Premier League games and looked lively in behind Dominic-Calvert Lewin.
If the Toffees can keep him and add to the squad, then you would say Benitez’s squad is in good shape.
Richarlison has had a busy summer as he played a key role for Brazil in the Olympics, but he has returned in top shape and is clearly a player who Benitez intends to keep.
The 24-year-old has been at Goodison for three years now, and you would have thought that Benitez could turn him into a world-class forward.
So, hopefully, he stays with the Toffees even if PSG solidify their interest [Goal].
