As Chelsea and Inter Milan go back and forth in negotiations for Romelu Lukaku, the Blues must not lose focus on their next transfer move. Jules Kounde and Ousmane Dembele have been linked with moves to Stamford Bridge and it feels like in a matter of days, announcements will be made on their respective futures. The question now is who will replace Lukaku this summer? Could Everton's Richarlison be an option?
The Brazilian forward could be making an exit from Frank Lampard's squad this summer and, according to the Daily Mail, Frank Lampard is already eyeing up a replacement. The idea of Chelsea signing Richarlison is not so bad; last season, the 25-year-old gave his all to help keep Everton out of the relegation zone despite his complications with injuries. He is a tough player and a resilient individual the Blues could benefit from.
According to UOL, if Richarlison was to leave the Merseyside this summer, he would prefer Chelsea over Real Madrid. If that's not enough incentive to go after him, I don't know what is.
