Richarlison says he is flattered by reported interest from Barcelona and Manchester United , but insists that he is happy at Everton .
The 22-year-old joined the Toffees in a £50 million deal from Watford last summer and justified his hefty price tag with a successful debut season at Goodison Park.
The Brazilian forward scored 14 goals in 38 appearances in all competitions for Marco Silva's side, improving on his tally of five from the previous season at Vicarage Road.
Strong displays on Merseyside have seen Richarlison linked with both the Red Devils and the Spanish champions this summer, with reports indicating that Everton want £100 million for the player.

However, Richarlison has denied suggestions he could leave the club already and reiterated his desire to continue with the Toffees.
“It’s a nice feeling when you get praise for your good work," he told FourFourTwo magazine when asked about interested clubs.
"But I’m not thinking about a transfer at the moment.
"I’ve just arrived at Everton. I’m happy here."
Richarlison's good form in the Premier League hasn't gone unnoticed by Brazil head coach Tite and he has been rewarded with a place in the national team squad for this summer's Copa America.

He has scored three times in eight appearances for his country and will be looking to add to his tally in the coming weeks.
Brazil are set to face Qatar and Honduras in friendlies before they start their tournament against Bolivia on June 15.
The hosts will also play Venezuela and Peru in the group stages as they look to win the continental competition in front of their home fans.
