Richarlison is attracting plenty of transfer interest after entering the final year of his contract at Tottenham Hotspur.
Even though the Brazilian finished as Spurs’ top scorer with 11 goals last season, his future in North London is far from guaranteed.
Richarlison has reportedly been put on the shop window by Tottenham, and it has been claimed that the striker would prefer to remain in the Premier League.
Over the last few days, several sources from Italy have claimed that Juventus have set their sights on the Spurs striker, as they look to add a number nine to their squad.
Juventus face competition for Tottenham striker Richarlison
Monday’s edition of Corriere dello Sport (as relayed by Sport Witness) also backs up the Bianconeri’s interest in the 29-year-old Spurs star.
In fact, the report says Juve’s interest in Richarlison is not new, with his name being on the club’s radar for ‘several years’.
With the former Everton man having just one year left on his deal, this summer may present the ideal opportunity for the Old Lady to get their long-term target.
Juve have launched an enquiry to understand what it will take to land Richarlison from Spurs, but the Serie A club face competition from unnamed Turkish and Saudi Pro League clubs for the centre-forward.
Tottenham are said to want at least £26m to sell Richarlison this summer.
Richarlison is not Juventus’ top target
Corriere dello Sport back up what other sources have reported over recent days by claiming that former Spurs loanee Randal Kolo Muani remains Juve’s top striker target.
Juve have been locked in negotiations with PSG for the Frenchman over the past few weeks, but there is a difference in valuation between the two clubs.
Luciano Spalletti’s side are looking to make up that difference through bonuses and a sell-on clause, and they are ‘optimistic’ of securing Kolo Muani’s services.
Only if their pursuit of the 27-year-old falls through will the Italian club make a concrete effort to land Richarlison.
