The transfer, which resulted in a 10-point deduction for Everton, has become known

The Premier League has deducted ten points from Everton due to a breach of financial fair play, with the transfer of Richarlison being the reason, according to Sport Bible.

The club's losses reached £124.5 million, exceeding the threshold of £105 million. Richarlison moved to Tottenham in July 2022, with the transfer fee for the Brazilian totaling £50 million plus bonuses, which could have earned the club up to an additional £10 million. The final amount could have been £60 million.

However, the club had planned to receive at least £80 million for the player. Everton believes that this led to problems in calculating the profitability and stability of the club, factors taken into account when determining compliance with financial criteria.

The departure of Richarlison and injuries to several players are seen as reasons for the team's 17th-place position. Each place lost in the Premier League table results in a loss of £2.1 million.

It is worth noting that the English Premier League's management has penalized Everton quite harshly. The team has been docked 10 points in the current season's league table due to a breach of financial fair play rules by the club's leadership.

Burnley, Leeds, and Leicester intend to take legal action. The decision was made based on an assessment of the clubs' losses caused by Everton not being relegated. The leaders of the three clubs held talks during which their intentions were confirmed.
