Richarlison almost certain to leave if Everton suffer relegation
If Everton suffer relegation, then all hell will break loose.
Forget about the stadium plans, forget about the financial meltdown, the Toffees would lose all their key players.
According to Sky Sports, Richarlison is “almost certain” to leave the Toffees in the summer window if they face relegation.
The Toffees sit 17th in the Premier League table with just 25 points on board, although they have got two games in hand.
The prospect of going down is a possibility given the kind of form Frank Lampard’s side are in at the moment. There is a lack of belief and confidence in the team.
Even if the Toffees manage to avoid the drop, it looks really difficult that Richarlison would want to stick around, especially if big clubs come up with tempting offers.
The Brazilian has time and again stated his desire to test himself at the highest levels, and at the moment, Everton are in no position to achieve that target.
The 24-year-old has scored four goals and three assists this season in the Premier League, and by his standards, the figures are quite low.
Richarlison enjoys playing upfront for Brazil, but he hasn’t been able to replicate that form for his club. He will definitely be looking to improve those numbers in the next 11 games for his club, but surely he won’t be satisfied with how things have gone this season.
Big European clubs are likely to monitor his situation in the summer, and the Toffees would be really powerless to prevent him from leaving, with or without Premier League football next season.
