On Saturday, The Athletic broke the news that Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Richarlison this summer. Contrary to other reports, Spurs are just thinking about the Brazilian and have not made any official bids so far. A move will only be made for him if the asking price is fair and not inflated.
If the Toffees want to sell Richarlison, they’ll be hoping to get the maximum money in order to fund a rebuild this summer. Everton are expecting an offer above €60 million for the former Watford man. As per the report, there’s a good chance of a sale happening this summer and even if Spurs do not manage to sign the 25 year old, there are other clubs like PSG who would be interested in the forward.
The Brazilian was instrumental in Everton’s survival and has been a talismanic presence since joining Everton in 2018. Richarlison is a fan favourite and is dearly admired for his dedication and passion for the club.
The Royal Blues are in no place to offer Richarlison Champions League football but admirers PSG and Spurs can do so. The 25 year old has always been keen to play in the most elite European competition and chances of that happening at Everton immediately are grim.
In such scenario, Richarlison may end up leaving this summer and the Toffees can get exorbitant fees from the transfer that can help Frank Lampard initiate the rebuild. Here are five replacements for Richarlison should he leave Everton in this transfer window.
