Everton forward Richarlison will set clubs back at least £100 million if they want to sign him this summer.

That’s according to the player’s agent Renato Velasco, who was speaking to passioneinter.com amid recent transfer links to Inter Milan.

He said: “For now, there are no contacts and I do not know if they would be willing to pay what Everton asks for his signature, at least €120 million.”

Richarlison arrived at Goodison Park only last summer in a deal that could reach that could eventually reach £50 million according to BBC Sport.

The Brazilian enjoyed a decent debut season on Merseyside, scoring 14 goals.

His stock has risen even higher after making his debut for Brazil in late 2018, and the forward has just been called up for his country’s Copa America squad.

TBR’s view

Given the current nature of the transfer market it is little surprise to see such a figure quoted for Richarlison.

Realistically it simply serves to fend off potential interest from other clubs this summer, such as Inter.

There is surely zero chance of Richarlison leaving after only one year at the club for the second successive season.

He is still very young and surely it’s in his best interests to stay at Everton for now to continue his promising development.

The club don’t need to cash in even for £100 million – there is a lot of deadwood at the club that needs shifting before the Brazilian if Everton are thinking about player sales.
