Everton star Richarlison is wanted by Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid, according to a report by The Mirror.

After an impressive debut campaign at Everton, Richarlison could be set for a summer exit. Champions League sides are queuing up to take Richarlison.

French champions PSG will battle Spanish giants Atletico Madrid for Richarlison. But Everton value their prized asset at £70m.

After signing the Brazil international from Watford for £40m last summer, the Toffees could make a £30m profit just 12 months later.

Richarlison has enjoyed success at Goodison Park after following his ex-Watford boss Marco Silva to Merseyside. In his first season with Everton, the 22-year-old has scored 14 goals in 38 games, including 13 Premier League goals.

He has operated as a centre-forward or on either wing. While other attacking players have drifted in and out of Silva’s plans, Richarlison has been a mainstay, starting 32 of his 35 Premier League outings.

But this has attracted the attention of PSG and Atletico Madrid. With Everton set for another season without European football, Richarlison’s head could be turned by Champions League football.

PSG and Atletico Madrid can also offer Richarlison higher wages. However, he is reportedly happy at Everton and Silva’s presence could be vital to keeping him.
