Everton: Richarlison makes intentions clear to board but won’t say publicly
Brazilian attacker Richarlison says he has already let the Everton board know whether his future will be at Goodison Park or not.
The 25-year-old was quizzed by the media while on international duty in South Korea over his future at the Merseyside club after he spearheaded their remarkable turnaround in form to survive Premier League relegation.
His 10 league goals almost certainly helped keep the Toffees in the top flight but he’s a player who should be at a much higher level which has brought about rumours surrounding his future.
“I’ve already made it clear to the board, I’ve already talked to Lampard too, with my managers and they know what I want. Let’s wait for June,” Richarlison said, as quoted by Globo.
“Now I can’t talk, because when he talks about leaving a club I’m kind of like this, because of the history I have at Everton, the affection that the fans have for me, when he talks about leaving I’m kind of speechless.”
Too good
If we had to make a guess, we’d say he wants to leave if he’s gone to the board to confirm his intentions, You’d assume he’d just go about his business as usual if he were to stay.
To be honest, though, he absolutely deserves the chance to go and play for a top-six club and be a star on the European stage as well as in the Premier League.
He’s been fantastic for us ever since the much-talked-about £50million move from Watford in 2018 and despite it being highly questioned at the time, it has definitely been worth it since then.
If we can only just stay up with him upfront it shows that the rest of the team aren’t even close to his level and he has to make the best decision for his career, which is to move on this summer.
it will hurt for Evertonians after so many great moments but we can all agree that he is a Champions League-quality player and he needs to be playing at that level to further his career.
