Everton faces criticism for a “failure” in a transfer that “sums up how the club has been run.”

For a reported value of approximately £60 million, Richarlison was traded to Tottenham Hotspurs during the summer.

Although it seems like a fantastic offer at first, The Toffees did not feel that this was a terrific deal.

When wages and bonuses are taken into account, the Goodison Park side’s initial £40 million

investment in acquiring the Brazilian probably represented at worst a break-even result for the transaction.

Brazil’s number nine player was transferred away in an attempt to abide by the Premier League’s sustainability and profitability

regulations, a move that at the time provoked a great deal of uproar.

Now, Everton has once again been slammed for the sale with a pundit explaining that it ‘sums up’ the club.

Everton criticised for poor transfer business

Expert While writing for the Liverpool Echo, Michael Ball talked about the dismal transfer sales that Everton has recently had.

Among these mentioned was Richarlison’s sale to Spurs.

“We now know why we did not benefit as much from the £60 million sale of Richarlison.

With salaries and costs taken into account, we may have barely made a profit on

Richarlison—who is ranked ninth in Brazil! The fact that we’re having trouble turning a

profit on Brazil’s ninth player encapsulates the way the club has been managed.

“It doesn’t work.” Ball went on to elaborate.

Each and every football team is a business. There are moments when Real Madrid and Barcelona are; that’s just the nature of modern game.

Everton must learn their lesson

Everton now has a number of valuable assets at the club that will probably draw a lot of interest

from teams further up the ladder.
