AC Milan will have even less luck targeting Richarlison than they did with Lookman

Everton forward Richarlison is reportedly wanted by AC Milan.

AC Milan are looking to kick on under Gennaro Gattuso after landing Lucas Paqueta and Krzysztof Piatek in January – and they are now looking to raid Everton.

Milan have become something of a sleeping giant in Italy and in European football, but are now hoping to restore themselves to their former glories.

That will involve more investment in their squad, and landing another winger who can play up front appears to be a priority, with two Everton players wanted.

The Express report that Milan want to land Richarlison from Everton, though the Toffees would no doubt demand a huge fee for the Brazilian.

Richarlison, 21, has hit 10 goals in 25 games since leaving Watford for Everton over the summer, and it’s no great surprise that other clubs are taking notice.

However, Milan are unlikely to have much luck when targeting one of Marco Silva’s favourite players, especially given how their approach for Ademola Lookman went.

The Mirror reported that Milan made an approach for Lookman in January, but Everton told them that the youngster wasn’t for sale despite his lack of starts under Silva.

If Everton are standing so firm on Lookman, then Milan are even less likely to tempt them into selling Richarlison, meaning Toffees fans shouldn’t worry too much about their interest.
