Transfer Update: Juventus Lead the Chase as Spurs Set €25-30m Price | I say it's time to get this attacker gone
Tottenham Hotspur’s Brazilian striker Richarlison remains one of the notable names in this summer’s transfer window, with both European and Middle Eastern clubs monitoring his situation. The strongest interest has come from Juventus and Fenerbahçe.
Juventus have already opened formal talks as the player enters the final year of his contract with Spurs. Despite Roberto De Zerbi not viewing Richarlison as a central figure in his squad plans, Juventus are keeping him high on their list, particularly as a strong alternative should the Randal Kolo Muani deal fail to materialize.
Fenerbahçe also made an approach in early July, asking Tottenham for the official conditions of a possible transfer. Yet Richarlison’s preference to continue his career in the Premier League or another top European league has weakened the likelihood of a move to Turkey.
In Saudi Arabia, Al‑Hilal were the most insistent, offering the forward a huge salary package. Richarlison rejected the proposal, making clear his ambition to remain in Europe and maintain his role with the Brazilian national team. Al‑Ahli and Al‑Shabab also assessed his situation, but with Saudi clubs undergoing financial restructuring this summer, the aggressive bidding seen in previous windows has cooled.
Tottenham are open to selling the 29‑year‑old if a serious offer arrives, and have set his price in the €25–30 million range. This figure is manageable for Juventus, while Fenerbahçe would face a heavier financial burden.
In summary, Richarlison’s name is expected to feature prominently throughout the transfer window. Juventus’ official negotiations and Tottenham’s willingness to sanction a departure strengthen the possibility of a move, though the player’s career ambitions and the reduced push from Saudi clubs suggest the process will be far from straightforward.
Earlier reports (including from ESPN Brazil around the World Cup period) suggested he was open to leaving for a new challenge. More recent updates (mid-to-late July) indicate he is determined to stay and wants to be part of Spurs’ project for 2026/27.
Personally, he’s grossly shortchanged us, and as I am not 12, none of his pigeon antics have vaguely impressed me.
“But he was our top goalscorer last season!” Yes, I know, and he didn’t score enough - and that’s his job.
Get him gone, as they say.
