Everton star Richarlison has been linked with a move away from the club this summer and although he has been a fan favorite during his time, it sounds like he would be open to a move too. The striker was crucial in their attempt to survive relegation last season, but reports in recent days have claimed that he would like to take the next step in his career.
New news about his departure came through a Brazilian journalist. bruno andrade of UOL Esporte on Tuesday as well. According to Andrade, the Spurs are in pole position for the player, as he tweeted.
“Despite the interest from Chelsea, the talks between Tottenham and Everton are going in a positive direction. With the Brazilian striker, the negotiations are already on the right track. A deal should be around £60m (in theory, not involving player trades).”

The fact that Richarlison has already been in negotiations with Tottenham over a deal, if the report is to be believed, supports previous reports that he himself wants a change of club.
For Everton, it appears to be more a case of negotiating the best deal for the player rather than sticking with it at the moment. If they can spend the money wisely and adequately strengthen their squad then that will be the measure of the deal for them.
