Barcelona set to put in an offer for Everton's Richarlison

Richarlison has undoubtedly been one of Everton's better players this campaign. Despite being brilliant only sporadically, it looks like the 21-year-old has done just about enough to turn the heads of one of Europe's biggest clubs, Barcelona.

As per latest reports, Barcelona are now eyeing a move for the forward. Richarlison joined Everton from Watford in the summer of 2018 for a sum of £35 million (rising to £50m) after impressing greatly for the Hornets in the 2017-18 season.

Barcelona, however, will have to pay much more than that in order to stand a chance of signing him in the summer. The Cules are looking at Richarlison as a strike partner for the ageing Suarez who is yet to break his duck in the UEFA Champions League.

Richarlison has scored 12 goals from 32 Premier League appearances this season for the Toffees.
