Everton are said to be aware that Richarlison wants to leave the club, EuroSport say.

Ancelotti reunion?

Richarlison is apparently eyeing up a move to Real Madrid, where he would be reunited with Carlo Ancelotti again.

Richarlison is yet to report back to Everton pre-season training as he has been given permission to go to the Olympics with Brazil.

The Toffees are determined to keep hold of Richarlison, and have apparently sent him a message to tell them they want him back in first-team training as soon as the Olympics is over.

But the Merseyside club know of his desire to leave Goodison Park.

Big blow?

If Richarlison was to leave that could be a major blow to Rafael Benitez in his first season at Everton.

Richarlison is one of the most threatening attackers that Everton possess, and one of their highest quality players.

His partnership with Dominic Calvert-Lewin is something which Benitez would surely have been planning to build around after taking charge.

But it seems that Everton may now face a struggle to keep hold of the Brazilian, and it remains to be seen whether they will be able to fight off the inevitable interest.
