#9 Richarlison

Everton v Valencia - Pre-Season Friendly
Richarlison has started extremely well for Everton but cost the Toffees a huge fee

Market Value: €25 million

Transfer Fee: €39.2 million

Difference: €14.2 million

Richarlison followed Marco Silva to Goodison Park this summer for a fee of €39.2 million with an additional €10 million in add-ons possible depending on his performances.

This is an extraordinary fee for a player who is yet to earn an international cap with Brazil and has played just one full season in the Premier League. His slump during the second half of last season also raises questions about paying €14.2 million over market value for the 21-year-old.

However, the forward has enjoyed a good start to the season with Everton, scoring three goals in as many games. He has also received a red card in an eventful start to his Toffees career.

Time will tell if the money paid by Everton is good value or not, but for now, Richarlison is one of the most overpriced transfers of the summer.
