Richarlison is r🐼ated as ‘likely’ to leave Everton in 2022 .

Likely to leave

PSG were linked with Richarlison this summer,🌜 but no move materialised with Kylian Mbappe ultimately staying in the French capital.

It is wiඣdely expected that this will be Mbappe’s last season with PSG though, and if he does go then a ꦜmove for Everton’s Richarlison is already being lined up.

The Braཧzilian striker’s representatives apparently were in Frไance last weeks for talks with Mauricio Pochettino’s side, and EuroSport don’t suggest that chances of him staying at Everton look strong.

Tough to replace

If Richarlison does leave 🐽Goodison Park it would be a major blow to both Ever🔯ton and Rafael Benitez.

While the Toffees would 🍸surely stand to make a sizeable fee for the 24-year-old, replacing him would be extremely difficult.

Richarlison, who was once called ‘top class’ by Jurgen Klopp (), is a proven Premier League scorer, and his aerial ability combined with his technical skill makes him a h🌞ard opponent to mark.

He has been a key player under Benitez so far, where he has scored one ▨goal in his first three💯 games.

And if ♉Everton were to lose him, itꦅ would be difficult to find a player of equal quality to come in.
