For a while Barcelona have been looking for a striker to take over from Luis Suarez. The Uruguayan is still a definite starter and makes the difference, but the club are aware that a replacement of his quality will have to be found.
Many names have appeared and the name which has been mentioned most has been Luka Jovic. However, that option seems to be becoming less likely as days go by. His Dad confirmed Barca's interest, but Real Madrid and other big European clubs are also after the Serbian and the highest bidder may have to fork out a lot of money.
Therefore, Barca have got back-up plans. With Griezmann once again being spoken about, Barca understand that, even if the Frenchman made it easy for them to sign him, his transfer would be very expensive. With all this on the table, 'Marca' threw another name into the ring: Richarlison.
A 21 year-old Brazilian international. He belongs to Everton, who paid almost 40 million euros for him last summer after he shone at Watford. In an Everton shirt, Richarlison started the season on fire, but he has not been as good as the season has gone on.
Nevertheless, he has scored 13 goals in 35 matches. Barcelona like him, who have him high up in their list of targets. However, Everton are not considering selling him. The footballer is also sought after by Liverpool and Atletico Madrid.
He is a pacy striker and a good header of the ball despite not being very tall (179 cm). A talent which is still to be exploited and Barcelona have not taken their eyes off him.
