Everton are one of the sides who are showing a keen interest in Richarlison ahead of the summer.
David Moyes has been able to provide the Toffees Premier League football for next season, but the ambition is much greater on Merseyside.
After being handed the keys back in December, the Friedkins are keen to sign a statement signing this summer.
Everton are looking ahead to a huge summer which will see them make the move into Bramley-Moore Dock.
It has become obvious over the course of the season that Everton are in dire need of some attacking reinforcement
TBR Football’s Chief Correspondent Graeme Bailey has now provided Everton News with the latest on the possibility of a return for Richarlison.
How TFG feel about signing Richarlison for Everton
A number of Tottenham fans would like to sell Richarlison this summer after what has been another difficult campaign for the striker.
The Brazilian landed in north London with a whopping £60m price tag but has struggled to remain fit to try and repay that fee.
Speaking to Everton News, Bailey has claimed the Friedkins are well aware of the talent Richarlison has to offer on Merseyside.
“He is 27 now, arguably coming into his prime. If he does leave Spurs this summer, he knows it needs to make the right choice – he wants to be starting for Brazil and so needs to be starting next season,” Bailey said.
Carlo Ancelotti is on the verge of joining Brazil, which could be a move that works in the favour of Everton.
“Everton want him, I revealed their interest some months ago, and The Friedkin Group recognise he is held in such regard but they also recognise what a talent he is. There is a belief that if Richarlison did not have the relationship he has with Everton, they would not be in the conversation.
“Saudi Arabia and the Pro League do like the player, but he has rejected them twice before so hard to see him wanting that move this summer, but they are an option.
“Personally I think if the situation is there, then Richarlison will find it very hard to turn down the chance of leading Everton into their new stadium.”
Richarlison is keen to remain in the Premier League if he is to depart the Lilywhites over the coming months.
It is a move which makes a lot of sense on paper, but it is whether the Friedkins believe it is truly a possibility that could work financially.
Richarlison needs first team football guarantee
As a result of his injury issues over recent years, Richarlison has lost his spot in the Brazil national side.
Fortunately, it looks as if a familiar face could be set to take over ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Ancelotti is a big fan of Richarlison, but even he will require the Spurs forward to prove he can still provide the good and remain fit next season.
The World Cup is going to be huge for the 27-year-old and he will certainly be striving to be a part of the Brazil squad.
Everton need a new striker, but there could well be a hesitancy over providing Richarlison any guarantees given his recent injury record.
