Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur are facing competition from Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain for Everton forward Richarlison, according to The Daily Mail.

The report has claimed that Tottenham are among a number of clubs who are monitoring the situation of Richarlison.

Spanish giants Real Madrid and French powerhouse PSG are also reported to be keen on the £110,000-a-week (SalarySport) striker.

Tottenham Hotspur or Real Madrid for Richarlison?

In our view, Real Madrid would be more tempting than Tottenham Hotspur for Everton forward Richarlison.

Yes, Tottenham have a world-class manager in Antonio Conte and will play in the Champions League next season, but Real Madrid are, well, Real Madrid – arguably the biggest club in the world.

Madrid won La Liga this season and could clinch the Champions League by beating Liverpool in the final on Saturday evening.

Moreover, Richarlison worked with Madrid boss Ancelotti at Everton and will know what to expect from the legendary Italian manager.

Described as “outstanding” by former Crystal Palace forward Clinton Morrison on BBC Sport this month, Richarlison scored 10 goals and gave five assists in the Premier League this season, and scored seven goals and provided three assists in the league in 2020-21.
