Everton want in-excess of £50million if they are to sell Tottenham target Richarlison this summer.
As Sportsmail revealed last month the Brazil international is open to leaving Goodison Park this summer, with Spurs among the teams interested in the forward.
Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain have also been credited with an interest in Richarlison – but sources have indicated that Tottenham are currently the most serious about trying to sign the South American.
However, the Toffees will demand a high price on their forward and will not consider anything less than £50million. Everton are aware of Tottenham’s interest in Richarlison and are open to engaging in further talks with Spurs.
Indeed, there is a belief a deal is achievable. Richarlison would find the opportunity to play Champions League football with Spurs next season too good to turn down.
But the biggest obstacle towards a deal appears to be the Merseyside club’s valuation.
The South American has two years to run on his existing deal so Everton are under no immediate pressure to sell, though their highly-publicised financial situation could become a factor as head coach Frank Lampard tries to strengthen his squad this summer.
