Everton forward Richarlison keen to leave Goodison Park in the summer
Everton forward Richarlison is keen to leave Goodison Park in the summer, according to NewcastleWorld.
The Toffees superstar, who scored the winner against Chelsea, has made up his mind that the present campaign will be his last, irrespective of whether the Toffees stay up or drop down to the Championship.
His agent has made soundings to a number of Premier League clubs over a summer move, including Newcastle United.
Likely
The report claims that the Magpies will be looking to fork out around £50million for Richarlison.
The Brazilian has a contract at the club till 2024, and it’s high time to cash in on him, even if the Toffees manage to stay in the Premier League.
Richarlison has been superb for the Merseyside club since he joined from Watford, and has grown as a top player in the Premier League.
For a player of his calibre, he deserves to play at a top club. That is why doubts remain whether he will at all be interested in moving to Newcastle.
The Magpies can offer him high wages, while the club have bigger ambitions following the Saudi takeover.
But he should aim to join a club that can offer him Champions League football. He deserves to test himself at a higher level, and a move to Newcastle doesn’t make sense.
At 24, he is about to enter the prime phase of his career, and therefore he should make a smart choice over his future.
