Richarlison claims Barcelona made offer in January

Richarlison says Barcelona were interested in signing him but Everton didn’t want to sell and he didn’t want to leave midway through the season.

The Brazilian moved to Goodison Park from Watford in the summer of 2018 in a deal worth £50m and has been a hit with the Merseysiders.

He’s netted 10 times in the Premier League this season and reckons both Barcelona and Manchester United tried to sign him during the winter transfer window.

“There were lots of offers during the season, from Barcelona, from Manchester (United),” he said.
