Richarlison's agent explains Jurgen Klopp meeting

The agent of Everton forward Richarlison has denied that he met with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp to discuss a potential move for the Brazil international in this summer's transfer window.

On Thursday, it was reported that Renato Velasco had personally met with Klopp, who is said to be an admirer of Richarlison.

Velasco has revealed that he did indeed travel to the house of the Liverpool manager, but it had "nothing to do" with the future of his client.

"So my meeting with Klopp had nothing to do with Richarlison," Velasco told Sport Witness.

"I am an agent of a player of Germany (Noah Weisshaupt), of Freiburg and Germany U20, where his father played with Klopp and they're friends. So they did not see each other in time and I went to his house to take Marcos.

"It has nothing to do with Richarlison, the people who made the link have added one thing to another."

Richarlison has found the back of the net on 13 occasions in 33 appearances for the Toffees this season.
