Milan dealt Richarlison blow as Everton claim they don't put a price on him

Everton have made it clear that they do not plan on selling Milan target Richarlison this summer. “We, as a club, do not put a price on him.”

Milan reportedly made enquiries for Richarlison last month, with a view to making a move for the Brazil forward if they qualified for the Champions League.

However, Everton boss Marco Silva was quoted as saying by the Liverpool Echo: “We are not thinking of selling him and, second, our fans - I am 100% sure - would not accept this.

“The player is really happy here, he is enjoying every moment here, we are really happy with him and he has many things to keep improving in his game and many things for us to keep working on with him.

“But, we as a club, do not put a price on him, it is important we keep him and all the others too and keep building an identity in our club.

“We have to keep our best players.  If you look at the last few seasons at our club, some really important players in the dressing room with that Everton identity and either not playing so many games or have left the club.

“And we have to create an identity with the players such as [Seamus] Coleman, Leighton [Baines], Jags [Phil Jagielka] and [Idrissa] Gana, the young players who know the identity and the others who are playing more.

“We have to create this because at this club you have to understand the culture and you have to pass this identity and culture to the players who are coming in.

“The players must know what it means to be playing for Everton.”
