Richarlison has taken the Premier League by storm since leaving Watford for Everton and could be offered a dream move to La Liga champions Barca.

Richarlison of Everton runs with the ball during the Premier League match between Everton FC and Southampton FC at Goodison Park on August 18, 2018 in Liverpool, United Kingdom.

The cynics were out in force mourning the supposed death of football when Everton splashed out a club-record £50 million to sign Richarlison from Watford in the summer.

But the 21-year-old has set about silencing those doubters since arriving at Goodison Park. He has scored three times in just three Premier League games for Everton, and even capped his senior Brazil debut with a brilliant brace against El Salvador in the recent international break.

Less than two months after sealing that massive move to Merseyside, it seems Richarlison is already attracting admiring glances from one of the biggest clubs around – FC Barcelona.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the former Fluminense forward is the latest target on the La Liga champions’ radar. It is understood that he has already been scouted by Barca, who brought Philippe Coutinho and Luis Suarez to Catalonia from Merseyside in recent years.

At the moment, there is no reason to suggest Everton fans have anything to worry about, given that Richarlison only signed a five-year deal at the end of July.

But it is worth noting that, in an interview with AS last week, Richarlison admitted that a move to Barcelona would be a dream come true.
