Report – Juventus Handed Major Boost in Quest to Sign Tottenham Striker | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison could be on his way out in the coming weeks, with Juventus keeping an eye on the situation. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, this could be an ideal market opportunity for the Bianconeri to strengthen Luciano Spalletti’s attacking options.

After losing Dusan Vlahovic on a free transfer, Juventus could now part ways with Jonathan David and Lois Openda. Both strikers, who joined the club last summer, faltered in their first season in Serie A. Therefore, the record-time Italian champions are open to cashing in on their underperforming stars.

On the other hand, Juventus have already identified Randal Kolo Muani and Mateo Pellegrino as genuine targets. However, they’ve been unable to find an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain over the Frenchman’s return to Turin. Indeed, PSG’s €50 million asking price has proved a major obstacle.

Our take on Juventus & Richarlison

Richarlison has never fulfilled his potential in North London, falling short of his substantial £60 million price tag. Yet, he played a decisive role in helping Tottenham avoid relegation last season, scoring several important goals down the final stretch.

Despite his late-season heroics, Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi has deemed the 29-year-old striker surplus to requirements. Moreover, Richarlison’s contract in England’s capital runs until 2027, meaning he could be available in a cut-price deal this summer.

With Spurs ready to negotiate the Brazilian’s sale, this could be just what the doctor ordered for cash-strapped Juventus. However, any move for Richarlison will likely depend on the outcome of negotiations with PSG over Kolo Muani.
