Former Everton director of football Marcel Brands has claimed that Richarlison could be playing for either Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich "as early as tomorrow". Coming to the attention of Brands when the attacker was starting out and playing in his homeland, the Dutchman wanted to lure Richarlison to PSV but they could not afford his transfer fee.
Eventually getting his man in the summer of 2018 as Everton purchased him from Watford, the 25-year-old became a key member of the Toffees side and contributed with some big moments in the final third. His stay at Goodison Park eventually came to an end at the start of July, with Tottenham paying £60million for his services as Antonio Conte strengthened his squad.
Richarlison has made a big impression in his short time in north London, notably netting both goals in Tottenham's 2-0 win over Marseille on his Champions League debut. Currently starring on the international stage for Brazil, Brands has hailed his former signing and stated that he could easily go and play for one of Europe's top clubs.
