As per Football Insider, a recruitment source has revealed that the Goodison Park faithful will now listen to offers for Richarlison in the summer.

They are confident that they can sell him for at least £50m, as he is under contract on Merseyside until June 2024, putting the Toffees in an extremely strong negotiating position even if they go down.

The Latest: Robinson reacts

Speaking to Football Insider, former Tottenham Hotspur and England international goalkeeper Robinson, who now contributes for Sky Sports, has claimed that Richarlison's price tag is 'massive', but admits that the Toffees need a 'huge' overhaul this summer, and so could look to cash in on the Brazil international:

“He has been in and out of form this season.

"I don’t think he’s been good enough in all honesty. They’re down in the bottom three for a reason.

“Richarlison has a massive price tag on his head and a massive reputation.

“He has not performed enough this season. He has scored a few important goals but it’s not been enough. Most of the Everton players have underperformed and he is one of them.

“They need a huge overhaul in the summer but the financial situation is difficult. They will have to sell before they buy. If Everton can get a good price for Richarlison they should cash in and revamp their squad with that money.

“I think it’s a similar situation to Raphinha at Leeds. They are the kind of luxury players you can afford to cash in on. Everton need players out of the door to bring in finances.

“They need players who are going to keep them in the Premier League next season. Richarlison isn’t consistent enough.”

The Verdict: Snap your hand off

If the Blues can get anywhere near £50m for Richarlison in the summer, then they should take it and run.

Yes, he has scored some important goals recently, including a last-minute equaliser in the 1-1 draw at home to Leicester City and most recently the winner against Chelsea, but overall has been far too inconsistent to warrant that price tag, scoring just nine times in total over all competitions so far this season (Transfermarkt).

Richarlison has also been criticised for having attitude problems when things do not go right for him on he pitch, and so a player who could be a disruption in the dressing room is one that Frank Lampard and his team could do without, should they receive a huge transfer sum.
