Richarlison signs with new agents, Manchester United discussing move for Everton ace – Fabrizio Romano
Everton forward Richarlison has signed with new agents ahead of a potential transfer this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Brazilian is a key player at Goodison Park but with his hopes of being part of the World Cup squad later in the year, relegation would mean he will likely leave the club.
Now Romano is reporting via his personal Twitter account that both Richarlison and his Velasco Sport Group have signed a deal with CAA Base agency to represent him going forward.
Romano also mentioned that he has been told Manchester United have discussed a potential move for the 24-year-old this summer internally, although no contact has been made.
He says there are no talks happening currently, with Richarlison ‘fully focused’ on helping Everton avoid relegation from the Premier League.
Normal
There’s nothing wrong with Richarlison planning for the future, because it doesn’t mean he will definitely be leaving in the summer.
If the Toffees are able to stay in the top flight this season then there will be no rush for him to leave. He loves the club, plays regularly and has been getting into the national team while here already.
Relegation would mean he needs to leave, and he has hired agents that can make that happen, but they would also likely be in charge of any potential talks over a new deal if he were to stay with Everton too.
He’s got his own interests in mind with the move, but as Romano says he is fully focused on the task at hand and deserves praise for his recent performances and attitude.
If he does leave it will be a shame, but this won’t be the reason for it. It’ll be the team’s performances on the pitch which see them in the Championship that do it.
