"I want to be in this club as long as possible. Everton has given me the opportunity to showcase my football abilities. It was after my performance in this club that I was called up to the Brazil national team. I trust this club, and it trusts me. The fans support me a lot, and I want to repay them with my good performances," Richarlison said after signing the contract.
