A report has revealed that Everton have already drafted plans to re-sign Richarlison from Tottenham, but the North London club are expected to demand a sizable fee for the Brazilian, who they signed from Goodison Park two years ago.
Injuries have prevented Richarlison’s hopes of becoming a success at Tottenham and one has to say that the £60m signing has proven to be a flop at the North London club.
All signs indicate that the striker’s time at Spurs will come to an end in the summer, and we have heard some interesting updates about his future over recent days.
Earlier this week, it emerged that Everton are plotting a move to re-sign Richarlison in the summer, with the Tottenham man still said to have a good relationship with his former employers.
How much will Spurs demand for Richarlison?
Now, a fresh report in GiveMeSport has now confirmed that Richarlison has been identified by the Toffees as their top choice to replace Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who is out of contract at the end of the season.
The outlet says that when the transfer window reopens in the summer, Everton will quiz Tottenham about the Brazilian to find out how much it would take to prise him back to the club.
Tottenham Hotspur are prepared to take a loss on the 27-year-old, but they will demand £40m if the Merseyside came knocking.
However, the report adds that Postecoglou’s men have refused to rule out the possibility of dropping their valuation as we edge close to the summer deadline.
Everton are not prepared to play a waiting game for Richarlison
GiveMeSport explain that the Toffees are keen to begin discussions over the Tottenham striker in the early stages of the transfer window.
If a deal cannot be struck quickly, David Moyes will not be patient and will urge the club to move on to other alternative strikes.
The Everton boss does not want the situation to drag on and pass up on other top strikers as he is keen to ensure his side have sufficient firepower ahead of their first season at their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.
