Real Madrid are interested in signing Richarlison from Tottenham Hotspur, according to Sport.

Real Madrid linked with Tottenham Hotspur’s Richarlison

The report has claimed that last season’s La Liga and UEFA Champions League winners Madrid are eyeing a new striker due to injury problems of France international star Karim Benzema.

Sport have claimed that Madrid have an eye on Richarlison, who joined Tottenham from Premier League rivals Everton only in the summer of 2022 and is playing well for Brazil at the 2022 Qatar World Cup at the moment.

The report in the Spanish publication has stated that Tottenham will want €100 million (£86 million) for the 25-year-old if they are to sell him.

Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti worked with Richarlison when he was the Everton boss.

Could a transfer happen?

In our opinion, Tottenham Hotspur will not sell Richarlison to Real Madrid – or to any other club for that matter – in the January transfer window.

No way.

Absolutely no way.

Yes, €100 million (£86 million) is a lot of money, but Tottenham are aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League and are also play in the UEFA Champions League.

If Spurs sold the forward, then they would need a suitable replacement to be successful this season, and it is unlikely that they would be able to get one in the middle of the season.
