Everton's 25-year-old forward Richarlison reveals his intentions in the upcoming transfer window to manager Frank Lampard and the club's board.

Everton forward Richarlison has revealed his intentions in the upcoming transfer window to manager Frank Lampard and the club's board.

The Brazilian was instrumental in helping the Toffees avoid relegation from the Premier League in the 2021-22 campaign, scoring 10 goals and registering five assists in 30 league appearances, including six goals in the final nine games.

As a result of Everton's struggles, the 25-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from Goodison Park this summer, with the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid said to hold an interest in acquiring his signature.

Amid the speculation surrounding his future, Richarlison has spoken out about his plans over the coming weeks whilst he is away with the Brazil national team, ahead of their upcoming international friendlies.

Speaking to Globo Esporte, Richarlison said: "I've already made it clear to the board, I've already talked to Lampard too, with my agents and they know what I want. Let's wait for June.

"Now I can't talk, because when we talk about leaving a club I'm kind of like this, because of the history I have at Everton, the affection that the fans have for me, when we talk about leaving I'm a little speechless."

Since making the £50m move from Watford to Everton back in July 2018, Richarlison has gone on to score 53 goals and register 14 assists in 152 appearances for the club across all competitions.
