Richarlison: "Play with Messi at Newell's? You never know..."

Everton’s Brazilian striker would like to have the Argentine star’s shirt and, perhaps, one day be able to play with him

Richarlison is declared admirer of Leo Messi

Richarlison left a few words of praise about Leo Messi on ESPN Argentina, in which Everton’s Brazilian striker makes it clear that, in his opinion, PSG’s Argentinian winger “is the best player in the world”. “He is from another planet, as they say.”

The Brazilian international is sure that “he is one of the best players I have seen play”. Richarlison went further by expressing a double wish: “I would like to change my shirt with him and have it well kept. It is a privilege to see him play and play against him. And who knows if maybe one day I will also play in the same team with him”, said a Richarlison who has two more years on his contract with the Liverpool team.

Asked if, in that case, he would be able to sign for an Argentine club like Newell’s, from which Leo Messi is expected to retire, the Brazilian said: “For me… You never know tomorrow what is going to happen.” You have to always leave the doors open and there are also great clubs in Argentina”.
