PSG contacts Richarlison: Transfer should be complicated
PSG sporting director Leonardo had recently confirmed that Mbappe would like to leave the French for Madrid. Paris has rejected a first offer from the royal family of 160 million euros, according to information from Goal and SPOX Real has meanwhile increased the offer to 170 million euros. Since Mbappe’s contract expires in 2022 and PSG does not want to let him go on a free transfer, the 22-year-old star striker will move to Los Blancos more and more likely.

Richarlison joined Everton from Watford FC in 2018. The Brazilian international played an important role for the Selecao in the summer both in the Copa America (0-1 defeat in the final against Argentina) and in the triumph at Olympa (2-1 after extra time in the final against Spain).
At PSG, he would meet fellow countryman Neymar and Lionel Messi on the offensive. The six-time world footballer is known to have moved from FC Barcelona to Paris.
