Juventus and Real Madrid to battle it out for Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison
According to CalcioMercato (h/t Sun), Juventus and Real Madrid are set to battle it out for talented Tottenham striker Richarlison with the player being linked with a move away from the club.
The Brazilian forward was brought in last summer with high expectations, but he’s struggled to make an impact for Tottenham this season. However, it’s important to remember that Richarlison is only 25 years old and has a lot of potential.
He was a star for Everton before joining Spurs, and it’s possible that he just needs some time to adjust to his new team and league. It’s also worth noting that Richarlison has been dealing with injuries throughout the season, which has undoubtedly affected his form.
Of course, the rumours linking him to Real Madrid and Juventus are worrying. Both clubs are among the best in the world and would be attractive destinations for any player. If Richarlison does leave, Tottenham must ensure they receive a fair price for him and reinvest the funds wisely.
Juventus is reportedly eyeing him as a replacement for Dusan Vlahovic, who has been linked with a move away from the club. Richarlison is a different striker from Vlahovic but it is easy to understand why the Italian giants want him.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, are said to be looking for a long-term replacement for Karim Benzema. Kylian Mbappe is their top target, but Richarlison could be a more realistic option if they can’t land the PSG star.
It’s important to note that these rumours are just that – rumours. Richarlison is still a Tottenham player, and he has the opportunity to prove himself in the remaining games of the season.
Manager Antonio Conte has already addressed Richarlison’s recent comments about being dropped to the bench. Conte has said that if Richarlison deserves to play, he’ll give him the opportunity.
It’s up to Richarlison to earn his spot in the starting lineup and show why he was brought in last summer. If he can find his form and start scoring goals, Tottenham will be much better off with him in the squad.
