Everton turn down 100 million euro bid from Barca for Richarlison

Barcelona have been linked with Richarlison, an quality Premier League player, since last summer. 

However, Barca seem to have come up against stiff opposition. 'Sky Sports' reports that the 'Toffees' have rejected 100 million euros from Barcelona. 

Barcelona are looking for a versatile footballer in attack, a pacy player to play the '9' role as a result of Luis Suarez and Dembele's absences. Richarlison meets this criteria. 

At 22, the Brazilian has a contract at Everton until 2024. He arrived at Goodison Park in 2018 for 40 million euros from Watford. They discovered the player's talent while he was at Fluminense. 

Furthermore, Richarlison has recently been linked with Man Utd after the tremendous failure by Man Utd in trying to get Haaland. The Norwegian ended up at Borussia Dortmund. Ancelotti, the new Everton manager, will block any attempt by Barca to get the Brazilian.

This season, Richarlison has scored ten goals and given four assists in the 26 matches he has played in the Premier League and the Carabao Cup. His numbers and influence on play are more and more important. 

Therefore, Everton will not let him leave in the two days left of the transfer window. Any club who want him will have a tough job convincing Everton.
