Chelsea transfer blows could mean their attention firmly focuses on Everton striker Richarlison
There is a lot currently going on at Chelsea on the transfer front and that could have big implications for the future of Everton striker Richarlison.
As reported by The Daily Mail on 15 June, Thomas Tuchel is keen to bring the 25-year-old Brazilian striker to Stamford Bridge as the Everton man enters the final two years of his contract.
However, The Daily Mail also reported on 11 June that Chelsea had been offered the chance to sign Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City.
Although, Chelsea have suffered a blow in their pursuit of Jesus with The Evening Standard claiming on Friday 17 June, that Arsenal are now confident of securing a deal for the Manchester City man.
With Chelsea’s other striker target Robert Lewandowski only focused on a move to Barcelona as revealed by The Guardians Fabrizio Romano on his personal Twitter account on Friday 17 June, Richarlison could become Tuchel’s main striker target.
Chelsea could well ramp up their interest in the Everton man in the coming weeks with Romelu Lukaku potentially leaving the club, Tuchel will see a striker as a requisition.
The Toffees should seriously consider selling the Brazilian if a big money offer does come in for the striker.
Frank Lampard could well use Chelsea’s need for a new number nine as leverage to up the price of the Brazilian striker.
If the Everton boss can get a large fee for the 25-year-old it could massively help him in completing the squad overhaul that is needed at Goodison Park.
Evertonians should keep an eye on ongoings at Stamford Bridge in the coming weeks.
In other Everton news, Farhad Moshiri is hoping that he can keep a 10% stake in the football club if he sells up to the Peter Kenyon-led consortium.
