Carlo Ancelotti responds to Richarlison transfer question after Everton exit rumours

Former Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti has addressed rumours that Richarlison could move on to Real Madrid.

The Blues forward has been linked with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu, with reports suggesting the ex-Toffees manager wants the Brazilian at his new club.

Ancelotti left Goodison Park to return to Madrid for his second spell in charge, while Everton replaced the Italian with Rafa Benitez.

Recent reports have suggested that Ancelotti wants to sign Richarlison at Real, with a €90m fee being quoted in several quarters.

The Brazilian has recently returned to Merseyside after spending the summer with his country performing at the Copa America before winning a gold medal at the Olympics.

However, Ancelotti has dismissed suggestions that he has asked Real to sign Richarlison, insisting that he will not talk about players that aren’t at his current club.

Ancelotti is quoted telling Le10 Sport : "If I asked my management to recruit Richarlison?

He added: “I like him, he's a great player, but I'm not talking about the players who are in other clubs.”

It’s not just Richarlison that Real have been linked with a move for, with Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe also thought to be a long-time target.
