- Palmeiras eyeing Richarlison
- Endured injury-hit campaign
- Spurs paid £65m ($87m)
Per journalist Matheus Filipe, Palmeiras have opened direct talks with Richarlison over a deal to sign him this summer. The pursuit is being spearheaded by club president Leila Pereira, who is personally leading negotiations. The Brazilian club are aware that Spurs want £55m.
Palmeiras are said to believe that they can reach Spurs’ asking price, as they are flush with Club كأس العالم prize money. They are said to have presented a clear vision to the forward, which includes him being a key player, and retaining the opportunity to play for البرازيل regularly.
Richarlison won the Europa League last season but faced an injury-hit campaign, as he was limited to just four الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز starts. For Richarlison’s part, it is unclear if he would be willing to return to Brazil this summer.
Spurs face Reading in their first pre-season friendly this weekend. It is unclear if Richarlison will play.
