Richarlison returning to Everton in the summer transfer window has been a popular discussion since January and a new update on the matter has emerged, courtesy of reporter Pete O’Rourke.
Moyes eyeing summer additions at Everton
The Blues may have thrived with David Moyes back at the helm in recent months, but The Friedkin Group will know that new signings are required this summer, as will the manager himself.
According to one recent report, Everton are interested in completing the signing of Udinese centre-back Thomas Kristensen, with the 20-year-old averaging 2.5 aerial duel wins per game across 16 Serie A appearances this season.
An exciting move for Dusan Vlahovic has also been mentioned in recent days, with the Juventus ace netting nine times in just 17 league starts in 2024/25 to date, as well as scoring four goals in six outings in the Champions League. With Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s Blues future unclear, the Serb could be a great replacement but the Blues will face plenty of competition for his signature.
Everton have also reportedly been given the green light to snap up Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff, with the Englishman struggling to oust the likes of Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Joelinton at the heart of the Magpies’ midfield this season.
Richarlison to Everton transfer assessed
According to a new update from Football Insider‘s O’Rourke, Everton are going to find it “very difficult” to bring Richarlison back to the club at the end of the season, amid talk of him returning to the club.
While it is noted that “Spurs will be keen to recoup as much of the £50million-plus fee they paid to land the striker in 2022”, it is believed that the Blues would “find it hard” to match the asking price, “even after the influx of cash” provided by The Friedkin Group.
A Richarlison reunion could go down well among Everton fans this summer, given his popularity during his first stint at Everton, so missing out on him would be disappointing. Still only 27, the Brazilian may have experienced an up-and-down time of things at Tottenham, but he scored 53 goals in 152 appearances for the Blues, always working hard and providing passion too.
Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has also spoken of his admiration for him during their time together; “We’ve got to maintain a balance in life and even for him, he needs to understand his football is still good, he’s a fantastic footballer. He’s got so much to give and that can help ease the burden he’s feeling in other parts of his life, like so many of us.”
For now, it looks like Everton won’t be able to afford Richarlison, with another club potentially swooping instead, but if the situation changes, they should look into the idea of re-signing him.

Moyes would surely love the attacker’s fighting spirit, while the fans know exactly what he can bring to the team, so it is a transfer that would make plenty of sense, should it eventually go through in the next window.
