Richarlison scored his 13th goal of the Premier League season for Everton on Sunday with Serie A powerhouses AC Milan interested.
AC Milan want to sign long-time target Richarlison from Everton this summer but will have to stump up in excess of £60 million, according to Calciomercato.
Everton signed the young forward from Watford last summer, paying a club-record £50 million according to the BBC. And after a difficult start to 2019, Richarlison has found his goalscoring touch once again, notching his 13th of the season in Sunday’s 2-0 win against Chelsea.
Though it seems that The Toffees are already facing a battle holding onto one of their most impressive signings of the Farhad Moshiri era.
Calciomercato report that AC Milan have been tracking Richarlison for two years and were close to signing him from Fluminense back in 2016, only to see the converted winger join Watford instead from the Brazilian Serie A outfit.
Sporting director Leonardo is claimed to be a huge fan but Richarlison’s agent has informed Milan that Everton see the Brazil international as ‘untouchable’. They want a minimum of £60 million this summer.
As a result, the report adds that the deal is more complicated than ever with the prospect of Financial Fair Play restrictions perhaps making the signing impossible for the Rossoneri.
