Everton forward Richarlison is keen on a potential move to Paris Saint-Germain and would love to play with Neymar, according to Eurosport.

What’s the story?

Eurosport are reporting today (11am) that PSG are interested in signing Richarlison in the final days of the summer transfer window if Kylian Mbappe leaves for Real Madrid.

Even if a transfer does not happen now, the French giants could make a move for the Brazil international forward next summer.

Although Richarlison is ‘very happy’ at Everton, he is open to leaving Goodison Park following the departure of Carlo Ancelotti earlier this summer.

Ancelotti returned to Spanish and European giants Madrid.

Richarlison, 24, is keen on the prospect of a move to PSG and would love to play with his Brazil international teammate, ‘close friend’ and ‘footballing idol’ Neymar.

Could a transfer happen now?

There are just days left in the summer transfer window now.

It is very unlikely that Everton will sell Richarlison now, unless, of course, the Toffees are made an offer that they simply cannot refuse.

Remember, Everton paid Watford an initial transfer fee of £35 million for Richarlison in the summer of 2018, according to BBC Sport.

So, any offer for the forward now will have to be considerably higher than that.
