# Everton: Toffees submit another Maxwel Cornet bid

**[Everton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/) have submitted a revised offer for Maxwel Cornet, according to [The Daily Mail](https://www.goodisonnews.com/2022/07/23/everton-propose-5m-bid-with-20m-obligation-next-season-to-sign-maxwel-cornet/).**

### **The lowdown**

The Toffees presented a loan proposal to Burnley at first but saw it rejected by the Clarets (via [The Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11023071/Everton-prepare-revised-bid-Burnley-forward-Maxwel-Cornet-having-opening-offer-REJECTED.html)).

Cornet, who only moved to Turf Moor from Lyon last summer, has been identified as a [potential replacement for Richarlison](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11023071/Everton-prepare-revised-bid-Burnley-forward-Maxwel-Cornet-having-opening-offer-REJECTED.html) after his move to Tottenham Hotspur.

The Guardian’s [Ed Aarons](https://twitter.com/ed_aarons/status/1550171941591547905) reported on Thursday that the Toffees are locked in a two-horse race for his signature alongside newly-promoted Nottingham Forest.

### **The latest**

According to Saturday’s print edition of [The Daily Mail](https://www.pressreader.com/uk/daily-mail) (23 July, pg. 111, via [Goodison News](https://www.goodisonnews.com/2022/07/23/everton-propose-5m-bid-with-20m-obligation-next-season-to-sign-maxwel-cornet/)), Everton have also tabled a permanent bid worth £25m.

It’s a complex deal because the player has a release clause of £17.5m, but Everton only want to pay £5m up front.

It seems that, for Burnley to agree, they’re willing to stump up another £20m next summer, when the Toffees seemingly hope to have more spending power.

### **The verdict**

Would Cornet be a good replacement for Richarlison?

The 25-year-old has limited [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) experience, with only [26 outings](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/maxwel-cornet/leistungsdaten/spieler/234781/plus/0?saison=2021) in the English top flight, but he did manage nine goals for a team which finished 18th and was relegated. In fact, Cornet was responsible for more than 25% of the Clarets’ 34 league goals last season.

There are actually some parallels with Richarlison’s time at Watford. While the Brazilian was a fair bit younger then than Cornet in 2021/22, he notched [10 goals and assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/richarlison/leistungsdaten/spieler/378710/plus/0?saison=2017) for the Hornets in his one and only season at Vicarage Road before getting a move to Merseyside.

Cornet’s former team-mate Chris Wood says that he possesses ‘[fantastic quality](https://sports.yahoo.com/burnley-lucky-maxwel-cornet-more-101923847.html)‘ and is the kind of striker who can produce a ‘highlight reel’ of excellent goals.

[Similar in profile](https://fbref.com/en/players/beb391dd/Maxwel-Cornet) to Jarrod Bowen of West Ham, the Ivorian could be a decent pick-up for Everton if their second offer proves successful.
