davieG Posted 3 July 2024 Posted 3 July 2024 https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2024/leicester-city-and-everton-compete-to-sign-reims-amir-richardson/ According to a report from L’Équipe, Premier League rivals Leicester City and Everton are in competition to sign Stade de Reims midfielder Amir Richardson (22). Richardson, who had a breakthrough campaign on loan with Le Havre AC in the 2022/23 season, had a more difficult campaign last time around. Under Will Still and then Samba Diawara, the technically-gifted midfielder made just 14 starts in Ligue 1 as he fell down the pecking order after a summer of big spending. Those starts became fewer and further between as the season progressed. Despite the managerial change at Reims, Richardson could leave the club this summer. That is despite the appointment of Luka Elsner, with whom the Morocco international worked at Le Havre. L’Équipe understands that Leicester and Everton are both interested, as are Serie A side Udinese, however, for now, no side are willing to meet Reims’ €10m valuation of Richardson, whose contract runs until 2027. That price tag has also forced another interested party, RC Strasbourg Alsace, to pull out of the running. GFFN | Luke Entwistle https://sportwitness.co.uk/everton-leicester-show-interest-midfielder-asking-price-stopped-transfer-offers-dead/ Everton and Leicester show interest in midfielder – But asking price has stopped transfer offers from arriving By Sean Lunt -3rd July 2024 SHARE Everton and Leicester City have both shown an interest in Reims midfielder Amir Richardson this summer but seem unwilling to pay his €10m asking price. That’s according to L’Equipe, who report that Everton, Leicester and Udinese have all shown an interest in the 22-year-old midfielder. They explain that Richardson could leave the French side this summer after managing just 14 starts under Will Still and Samba Diawara last season. Everton, Leicester and Udinese have all shown an interest in him but Reims €10m asking price has deterred anyone from making a bid as yet, being considered too high by the interested parties. The aforementioned trio have so far shown no desire to pay such a figure, while Strasbourg also withdrew their interest because of it. Whether there is any room for negotiation isn’t mentioned and, in the meantime, Richardson is focused on a busy summer, in which he will be competing at the Olympics with Morocco. He returned to training with the French side last Wednesday under new manager Luka Elsner, who knows him well after managing him at Le Havre. Whether his arrival at the club leads to a decision to stay where he is remains to be seen, but at the moment neither Everton, Leicester nor anyone else have showing a willingness to pay Reims €10m asking price.

LestaLad Posted 3 July 2024 Posted 3 July 2024 He looks very very decent actually. Left footed, young, massive potential, I like this. Looked good against PSG too. 1

Wow if that is a set of highlights not sure I would bother …….not a particularly progressive player and personally would rather see Soumaré played in his right role

NasPb Posted 3 July 2024 Posted 3 July 2024 This guy is the real deal. He can be a bit awkward on his feet but loved him for Morocco. Needs to bulk up a bit but he's got good vision isn't afraid to shoot and likes to be in constant control.. Defensively good as well. 1

Stadt Posted 4 July 2024 Posted 4 July 2024 16 hours ago, Molson Canadian said: Uses his frame well to tackle, his reach (6'5) is impressive so manages to almost surprise opponents by the angle he tackles from. Reims bough him for circa £2m so £4m should do it - exactly the sort of player we should be in for. If we go down it's the sort of signing that won't immediately clear off either. 2

Aleksz Posted 6 August 2024 Posted 6 August 2024 (edited) Athletic are bumping this one again this morning, Adam Leventhal the source. “Stade Reims are prepared for heightened interest in midfielder Amir Richardson. The Morocco international is now free to proceed with a move after being defeated 2-1 in the semi-finals of the Olympics against Spain. Leicester are one of the clubs who have closely tracked the 22-year-old’s progress and are considering a move. Reims value Richardson in the region of £13million and Serie A clubs have already registered interest in proceeding with a deal. Adam Leventhal” Edited 6 August 2024 by Aleksz 1
NasPb Posted 6 August 2024 Posted 6 August 2024 Absolutely a gem of a player, I'd take him in a heart beat
goose2010 Posted 6 August 2024 Posted 6 August 2024 a 6ft6 midfielder?? Sounds like the perfect player for us and our new set piece coach to work with!
