Evertonians only want one thing from this next transfer window, and that is seeing Richarlison back in the blue of Everton.
It might be a fairytale situation, but Richarlison returning to Everton could certainly happen in the summer.
Some fans are for his return, and some are against it, but David Moyes is a fan of Richarlison, which could heighten the possibility of a reunion.
The transfer talks emerging prove the impact the Brazilian had on the club, as it seemed like he would never leave.
It’s safe to say his move to Tottenham in 2022 hasn’t exactly worked out, and he still has time to grant the promise he made in that same year.

What Richarlison promised Everton fans in 2022
The 27-year-old has been seemingly teasing the opportunity to return to Merseyside.
Tottenham are happy to sell Richarlison and whatever happens it seems as though the forward won’t be playing his football in North London next season.
His relationship with Evertonians is certainly a unique one, but the fact that Richarlison interacts with Everton fans away from the club says it all.

Well, he certainly was involved with the fans when he was at the club, and speaking to TNT Sports in 2022, Richarlison made a vow that he broke but can reignite once more.
“I want to play Champions League with Everton and not move to another club,” Richarlison said.
“I want to repay the affection they have for me and also help on the field and continue to become an idol here at the club.
“I want to make history here.”

It seems as though this is the perfect transfer waiting to happen.
Richarlison has reached the end of his time with Tottenham, and Everton are moving into a new era with The Friedkin Group.
Of course, the Toffees are still far from the Champions League places, but Martin Keown sees Everton on the European stage.
Richarlison already has an iconic status with the club, and in his final season at Goodison Park proved how, at his best, he can help Moyes’ side compete for Europe.

He would improve the current Everton squad, and Moyes might be very keen on the prospect.
Signing Richarlison does come with risk, but the player’s attitude to playing is unmatched, and this promise might still be in the back of his mind.
