Richarlison ready to quit Everton in June as Tottenham and Newcastle United make approaches
Richarlison is getting ready to quit Everton in the summer transfer window after being the subject of numerous approaches, according to Bruno Andrade.
Writing via his personal Twitter account on Friday [8 April], the UOL and CNN Portugal journalist reported that Richarlison, 24, is prepared to join another Premier League club as early as June.
It is understood that Newcastle United and Tottenham are really keen on the Brazil international and have made approaches while Manchester United are also interested.
Get rid
Richarlison may have scored twice at Burnley on Wednesday night and had a decent overall performance.
However, we’ve not seen Richarlison do that anywhere near over the last two seasons with the former Watford star regularly disappointing fans.
He’s meant to be one of the best players at the club and certainly one of the most valuable.
However, Richarlison’s form has been that of an average bottom-half Premier League forward – not one who cost the Blues £50million in 2018.
We doubt that Everton will make that money back on the Brazil international.
If we’re relegated, we’ll be forced into selling as we doubt that Richarlison has a relegation clause in his contract that sees his wages drop.
Whoever signs him might feel like they’re getting a bargain but they would be getting a big-money player who’s played a big role in a club getting relegated.
If we stay up, we might be able to break even on Richarlison if we’re lucky but either way, he doesn’t come across as being someone good enough for Champions League-chasing sides like Man United or Spurs.
