Spurs, PSG and Real Madrid eye Everton’s Richarlison

Tottenham, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are all considering a move for Richarlison with Everton facing a fight to keep hold of the forward.

Richarlison was a key figure in the club’s successful bid to avoid relegation this season, scoring six goals across the final nine games of the Premier League season.

 

The 25-year-old’s form is understood to have attracted the interest of several rival sides this summer, with Spurs among the clubs interested in a deal.

Antonio Conte is looking to add a versatile attacking option to his squad and Richarlison’s comfortability in playing either wide or as a central forward will appeal to the Spurs boss.

The Mail are reporting that Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid – who have missed out on the signings of Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe – are also keen on a player who has scored 53 goals in 152 appearances since signing from Watford in a £40m deal in 2018.

Everton are under no pressure to sell Richarlison given he has two seasons remaining on his deal, though a huge bid could persuade the Toffees into a sale as Frank Lampard looks to rebuild his side this summer.

Everton turned down an offer of around £85m from Barcelona for the forward – who has scored 13 goals in 34 appearances for Brazil – in 2020.
