Everton is interested in exploring a deal that could see Richarlison return to the club from Tottenham.
Manager David Moyes is a long -term admirer of the Brazilian and has given priority to the search for a striker in the coming summer window.
Richarlison has strong emotional ties with the club, which has had in Goodison Park for four years and scored 53 goals in 152 games.
A loan moved back to Everton for Richarlison was disputed at the end of the January window but did not come out.
Since he left Everton in a relocation of £ 60 million to join Spurs three years ago, he has been plagued by injuries and missed more than 30 games this season.
That is something that will probably cause Everton concern, but a loan agreement with an obligation to buy, if he plays an agreed number of games, could be an option.
Richarlison is supposed to be one of a number of pointed options that is being considered.
Moyes has a large number of major decisions and it is expected to be a summer from Flux for Everton, who will have 15 players who have no contract at the end of next month, including Loanese.
One is striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has also had a large number of injury problems.
Sky Sports News reported on Wednesday that Leeds is interested in Everton striker Beto.
Strengthening the full-back positions is also a priority for Moyes and it is understood that Everton is interested in Leicester left back Victor Kristansen.
Leicester is willing to listen to offers for a large number of players after their relegation to the championship, but are determined that there will be no fire sale of talent and nobody will leave cheaply.
