# Everton: Richarlison could be sold for £50m

**[Everton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/) are hopeful that they can sell Richarlison for at least £50m this summer, according to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-everton-plan-to-accept-50m-richarlison-bid/).**

### The lowdown

The publication had [previously reported](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-everton-to-listen-to-offers-for-two-star-men-as-moshiri-plots-total-overhaul/) that the Toffees and their director of football Kevin Thewell intend to use the proceeds from selling the Brazilian to overhaul their squad, [adding](https://www.footballinsider247.com/everton-transfer-news-richarlison-tells-agent-to-find-new-club-after-crunch-talks-sources/) that the player himself has told his agents to line up a move to a Champions League club, regardless of whether or not Everton avoid relegation.

The Blues paid an initial £35m to sign Richarlison from Watford in the summer of 2018, possibly rising to £50m with various add-ons (via [BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44946473)).

The 24-year-old is Everton’s [top scorer](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/everton/top-scorers) this season with nine goals and has bagged four in their past five Premier League matches. Those include a stoppage-time equaliser against Leicester City and the winner against Chelsea on Sunday, earning Frank Lampard’s four vital points in their fight for survival.

### The latest

A ‘recruitment source’ has told [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-everton-plan-to-accept-50m-richarlison-bid/) that Everton will sell Richarlison this summer if they receive an offer of £50m or more for him.

They are said to be increasingly confident that bids in that region will arrive in light of his recent form.

### The verdict

Where would a £50m sale rank in the Everton record books?

The [£75m](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40550934) reaped from Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United in 2017 is the most lucrative outgoing in the club’s history, and it won’t be in that ballpark. However, it should surpass the [£48m](https://www.goal.com/en/news/stones-backed-man-city-lescott/1tfipc0vljxe01cygnhggz6j66) that they received from Manchester City for John Stones in 2016.

How satisfied will Everton be to receive that amount? Richarlison has established himself a senior Brazil international since his move to Merseyside, [racking up 34 caps and scoring 13 goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/richarlison/nationalmannschaft/spieler/378710) since his debut in September 2018.

You could argue that they should be making more of a profit on him, but the priority for Everton seems to be securing the kind of cash influx to finance a revamp of the squad and ease their [Financial Fair Play difficulties](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-10676973/If-Everton-avoid-Financial-Fair-Play-penalty-skin-teeth-warn-experts.html).
