Juventus eye Richarlison as Brazilian enters last year of Tottenham contract | OneFootball

Juventus have added Richarlison to their list of potential attacking reinforcements, with the Brazilian’s contract situation at Tottenham making him an appealing option this summer.

Luciano Spalletti has been unambiguous about the task ahead: “Our squad needs to be strengthened or improved, and in some areas even completed. We have to do important work, and it will be done,” the coach said.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, via CalcioMercato, that work could extend to Richarlison, whose Spurs deal expires in 2027 and who is understood to be seeking a fresh start after a difficult period in London.

De Zerbi factor could aid Juventus in Richarlison pursuit

The appeal is as much financial as sporting.

Signed by Tottenham for €70 million including bonuses in 2022, Richarlison now carries a valuation of around €25 million with a year left on his contract, and his salary, a little over €3 million net, sits comfortably within Juventus’ means.

Crucially, Roberto De Zerbi does not consider the forward central to his plans and regards him as saleable, and the coach’s relationship with Juventus chief executive Giovanni Carnevali, who worked with De Zerbi at Sassuolo, could serve as a useful bridge in any negotiation.

Richarlison is not short of suitors, with lucrative interest arriving from Turkey and Fenerbahce in particular. But the striker is said to hold fond associations with the Bianconeri, having trained at the Continassa in 2022 when Brazil based their World Cup preparations there.

Four years on, Juventus will hope those memories, allied to Spalletti’s endorsement and the De Zerbi connection, can help turn a passing opportunity into a genuine coup, even as Kolo Muani and Mateo Pellegrino remain their priorities up front.
