Real Madrid are another side to have been mentioned in the race for former Watford forward, although he is said to be unsure the Spanish giants would be able to guarantee him regular first-team minutes. Tottenham are described in the report as the team in the most favourable position to secure the services of the Everton hero. However, whether they follow up their interest, and then are able to make a breakthrough in negotiations, remains to be seen.
Speaking at a press conference while on international duty last month, Richarlison aid: "I’ve already made it clear to the board. I’ve already talked to Frank Lampard too, with my agents and they know what I want. Let’s wait for June.
“Now I can’t talk, because when we talk 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 we talk about leaving I’m a little speechless.”
Richarlison has made 152 appearances for the Blues since his move from Watford in 2018, scoring 53 goals and claiming 14 assists in that period. His most recent strike for the club was a crucial second goal as Everton secured a 3-2 comeback against Crystal Palace at Goodison Park to dramatically secure their survival.
