Everton and Leicester City have both shown an interest in Reims midfielder Amir Richardson this summer but seem unwilling to pay his €10m asking price.
That’s according to L’Equipe, who report that Everton, Leicester and Udinese have all shown an interest in the 22-year-old midfielder.
They explain that Richardson could leave the French side this summer after managing just 14 starts under Will Still and Samba Diawara last season.
Everton, Leicester and Udinese have all shown an interest in him but Reims €10m asking price has deterred anyone from making a bid as yet, being considered too high by the interested parties.
The aforementioned trio have so far shown no desire to pay such a figure, while Strasbourg also withdrew their interest because of it.
Whether there is any room for negotiation isn’t mentioned and, in the meantime, Richardson is focused on a busy summer, in which he will be competing at the Olympics with Morocco.
He returned to training with the French side last Wednesday under new manager Luka Elsner, who knows him well after managing him at Le Havre.
Whether his arrival at the club leads to a decision to stay where he is remains to be seen, but at the moment neither Everton, Leicester nor anyone else have showing a willingness to pay Reims €10m asking price.
