Everton have seemingly turned down a big offer from Barcelona for Richarlison.
Barcelona fans on Twitter are baffled after hearing that Everton have rejected a big-money bid from the Catalan club for Richarlison.
Sky Sports are reporting that Everton have rejected an £85 million bid from the La Liga giants for the signature of the Toffees forward.
There are sections of the Barca fan base that are stunned about this whole transfer speculation, from bidding that amount of money for the Brazil international, and then it being rejected by the Premier League club.
There’s no doubt that Richarlison is a very important player for Everton but it has to be questioned whether he is worth the money seemingly being offered.
But the Toffees have appointed Carlo Ancelotti as their manager and he surely wouldn’t want the club to sell their best asst but add to the squad instead.
It is fair to say that some Barca fans simply couldn’t believe what they are reading in regards to the Richarlison speculation, as it remains to be seen what happens before deadline day.
In December, Everton did put their faith in their versatile attacker by offering him a new contract, which he signed amid interest from Manchester United, as reported by The Guardian.
At the age of, 22, Richarlison is a player who can go on and play for a team in the Champions League places, or from Everton and Anceloitt’s perspective, hopefully push them towards Europe.
During this campaign, which has been a tough one for the Toffees, he has played 27 games in all competitions, scoring 10 goals and supplying his teammates with four assists [transfermarkt].
