Everton reveal latest club accounts with stark impact of Richarlison sale

Everton have posted an operating loss of £44.7million for the financial year 2021/22 (FY22).

The figure was significantly less than their loss of £121m for the previous year or £139.9m in 2019/20 – seasons in which football clubs were forced to play matches behind closed doors due to the coronavirus pandemic – with Everton one of nine Premier League clubs to have reported losses so far, seven of which were heavier than the Blues (Arsenal, Chelsea, Bournemouth, Leicester City, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Wolves).

But a significant chunk of the £67.7m generated through "player trading transactions" came from Richarlison joining Tottenham Hotspur back in June - just inside the financial year dealt with in these accounts. Lucas Digne also moved to Aston Villa in the winter window last season.
