Everton has initiated discussions with Tottenham regarding a potential return for Richarlison, the Brazilian striker who departed Goodison Park in 2022 for £60 million. According to reports, the player himself is enthusiastic about rejoining his former club, a factor that could prove significant in negotiations for a player in his late twenties with a history of injuries and substantial wages.
Since moving to Spurs, Richarlison has delivered respectable but not outstanding performances, netting 11 Premier League goals across 32 appearances last season. Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has indicated willingness to allow the 29-year-old to pursue opportunities elsewhere. Any Everton move would hinge on outgoings, particularly the departure of striker Beto, whose contract contains only one remaining year.
Spurs’ pursuit of alternative attacking options, including interest in Cody Gakpo as a replacement, could accelerate Richarlison’s availability. Club sources have denied claims that Everton has already submitted a failed bid, suggesting formal negotiations remain in early stages. The midfielder offers versatility across multiple attacking positions and would provide experience under new manager David Moyes as Everton seeks to strengthen their offensive capabilities during the transfer window.
