Everton and Richarlison will always have a soft spot for each other after spending just under four years together.
Richarlison joined Everton for around £40 million back in 2018 from Watford.
The Toffees got more than their money’s worth as the Brazilian made 152 appearances in the blue shirt, scoring 53 goals and assisting 12.
However, his fine form saw Tottenham Hotspur come calling, and they ended up splashing a whopping £60 million on the attacker in 2022.
Despite leaving Everton, it’s clear that Richarlison still has a lot of love for Everton, as he even responded to a post about Goodison Park earlier on this year.
Interestingly, it appears as if the Brazilian could be up for sale in 2025, so could this bring about a potential reunion at the new stadium?

Richarlison has had a torrid time of things at Tottenham Hotspur on the injury front, with Everton fans even claiming he ruined his career for their own good.
The attacker is currently set to be out for a significant amount of time after picking up a hamstring injury against Aston Villa earlier on this season.

It’s unknown when he’ll return from injury, but it appears as if his future at Tottenham is far from certain.
According to Athletic, Richarlison will still have two years left on his contract this summer, and if he can regain fitness over the second half of this season, it would not be a surprise to see him back on the market again later in 2025.
Could a return for Richarlison be on the cards?
A move for Richarlison would seem very unlikely at this stage, but you can never say never.
Everton are supposedly interested in Arthur Melo, who has been injury prone himself, playing only one game at rivals Liverpool during his loan spell.
The Friedkin Group are likely to keep their powder dry in January, with the opportunity to really invest into making a successful side in the summer.
A new stadium is a big attraction for most players, though that won’t matter to Richarlison as he already loved Goodison Park.
It would be a risky move to bring Richarlison back to Everton given his injury record, so it may very much depend on the kind of fee Tottenham would ask for.
However, he knows the club and exactly how to find the back of the net, which is a massive problem for the Toffees at this moment in time.
Everton lack that real fiery character who can take games by the scruff of the neck and win games single-handedly, and that’s exactly what Richarlison did.
Alan Myers (as per Goodison News) spoke on it back in the summer, stating.
“Nothing in football really surprises me anymore but I would be if that happened”.
Arguably, Richarlison has gone down in value since then due to a lack of football and injuries, but as we’ve said, this is a potential long-shot move that would depend on many factors being right.
