Having arrived at Everton from Watford last summer, Richarlison has scored 13 goals and registered one assist in 33 league appearances this season.
It’s no surprise the 21-year-old’s form for the Merseyside club is drawing attention and last week, Marca linked the Brazil international to Barcelona.
Calciomercato now looks at AC Milan’s interest in the forward and starts their report by claiming he is an ‘increasingly complicated desire’ for the Serie A outfit.
Leonardo has been closely following the attacker’s progress, who is capable of playing anywhere in the front three and his side is ‘in contact’ with the player’s entourage.
Any approach from Gennaro Gattuso’s side will see them face two complications – Champions League football and the figures demanded by the English club.
Milan are fourth in the table with 56 points after 33 games, level on points with fifth placed Atalanta and five points behind third placed Inter.
It’s claimed that Richarlison has laid down the condition that he will only leave Marco Silva’s side to join a club who plays in the Champions League. Otherwise, he will continue with his current employer for one more season.
In terms of cost, Everton are demanding €75m for their star player and are convinced a top Premier League club would be ready to pay €80m for the South American.
For Milan, qualifying for next season’s Champions League is still within reach, but they could fall short when it comes to his valuation, which is why the deal is complicated for them.
