The Toffees are willing to sell, but they are looking for more than £51 million for the Brazil international forward.
The report has added that ‘some close to the club believe the move has a good chance of happening in this window’, although they are unlikely to get more than £51 million from Tottenham for the £110,000-a-week forward (SalarySport).
Goal reported last month that Arsenal are interested in the 25-year-old and have already held preliminary talks over signing him.
Richarlison report boost for Tottenham, blow for Arsenal
In our view, The Athletic’s report about Richarlison is a boost for Tottenham Hotspur in their quest to sign the Brazilian, but a blow to Arsenal’s chances of landing him.
Tottenham will play in the Champions League next season and also have a world-class manager in Antonio Conte.
There is a feeling that Spurs could really kick on next season if Conte is allowed to bring in the players he wants.
