RICHARLISON has told Everton that he wants to leave.
The Brazil striker has Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Real Madrid in his sights.
The cash-strapped Toffees seem likely to let Richarlison go as they could get £60m for the much-wanted striker
And Richarlison has switched to a new agency, CAA Base, who also have Goodison Park boss Frank Lampard and team-mate Dele Alli as clients.
The Everton hero, who is awaiting an FA verdict after being charged for throwing a flare back into the crowd in the win over Chelsea, would command a fee of around £65million.
He arrived for £50m from Watford four years ago and has eyed a move to Paris for two seasons.
Arsenal will be tempted to move for the striker, who has two years on his contract and was crucial in helping the Toffees survive last season’s survival battle.

Goodison boss Lampard would be loath to lose him.
But the front man, who was involved in a weekend training ground fight with Vinicius Jr on duty with his country, has already made his position clear to the manager.
With Everton now cutting costs after narrowly escaping a charge of breaking Premier League financial fair play rules it is unlikely the club will stand in his way for the right price.
Majority owner Farhad Moshiri has overseen losses of £372m over the past three years and has now ordered that the club’s wage bill is slashed over the next two years by up to 70 per cent.

To do so the squad also be drastically cut back, putting the futures of Alli, Fabian Delph, Allan, Salomon Rondon and Andros Townsend in doubt.
Moshiri has spent almost £600m over the past six years on new talent.
But Lampard’s budget in the summer transfer market will be seriously limited, although Tottenham’s Harry Winks is a target.
