The problem is he doesn't look half as good without Richarlison, and Richarlison came out at the start of the season and said he promised Carlo "one more season". Where does that leave us?
Sure we'll have a wedge to throw at a replacement next summer, but we'll be lucky if they can strike up as good a partnership with Dom as Richi has.
Going to be a big ask, but hopefully the money we get for Richi can be used to get a striker, right back and goalkeeper without us needing to put our hands in our pockets any deeper.
We should, at a minimum, double our money on Richarlison, so that's one positive, I suppose. I'll be gutted when he goes, but that's what he said, "one more season", and unless we're finishing top four I can see no reason why he'd want to stay any longer when many, many better teams will be in for him.
