Everton star Richarlison could reportedly be interested in a move to Chelsea this summer.
According to The Sun, Richarlison’s informed his club side Everton that he would like to leave Goodison Park before the new season starts.
It is understood the 25-year-old’s got his eyes on a move to either Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain or Real Madrid.
The report claims there may potentially be interest from Premier League rivals Arsenal, but the Brazilian attacker would snub them to join one of his preferred destinations.
In addition, The Sun thinks it could cost £65million forclubs to prize Richarlison away from Everton.
Richarlison interested in Chelsea move
It’s a compliment to Chelsea that Richarlison has picked them out as a potential next club. Will the Blues reciprocate that interest, though?
He’s a versatile forward comfortable as a central striker or on the left wing, working his socks off in whatever role he plays.
The Brazil international has 14 goals in 36 games for his country, which is very impressive when you consider the competition for places that the South American giants have. He’s scored 53 goals in 152 Everton appearances, too.
Incidentally, Chelsea are also being linked in the summer transfer window with Richarlison’s international teammate Gabriel Jesus, who could end up leaving Manchester City.
Lampard rates him
Described as a “huge talent” by Chelsea legend Frank Lampard, Richarlison’s definitely an exciting player that impresses in the Premier League regularly.
Everton manager Lampard has been able to work closely with him in the last few months, with the duo combining to help keep the Toffees in the Premier League for another season.
It would be intriguing to watch him take a step up in his club career.
