Tottenham set €30m Richarlison price as striker seeks €10m salary

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly ready to sell Richarlison this summer but will not accept an offer below €30m for the Brazil international.

The 29-year-old was a regular last season and kept his place after Roberto De Zerbi took charge in March. He finished the campaign with 12 goals and five assists, including two goals and one assist under the current Spurs manager.

Despite those numbers, reports from Turkey claim both Tottenham and Richarlison are open to parting ways.

According to Ajansspor, Tottenham have made their position clear and “will not consider offers below” €30m.

Richarlison is also reportedly prepared to leave north London and is asking for an annual salary of €10m after tax from his next club.

Interest from Turkey has been building. An unnamed leading Turkish club reportedly submitted an official offer last week, although the identity of the club and the value of the proposal were not disclosed.

Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş are possible destinations, with Fenerbahçe officials recently reported to have been in London for transfer discussions.

Tottenham’s €30m demand could prove difficult to maintain because Richarlison has less than a year remaining on his contract.

The striker is valued at €25m by Transfermarkt, giving interested clubs reason to believe Spurs may eventually lower their demands.

Suitors could wait until later in the transfer window before making a stronger push, particularly if Tottenham become increasingly determined to avoid losing Richarlison for nothing.

Brazilian clubs have also shown interest and could reportedly offer between €20m and €25m. However, matching the forward’s salary demands may be more difficult for them than for Turkey’s biggest clubs.

Interested clubs must decide whether to meet Tottenham’s €30m valuation or wait and test their position later in the window.

Richarlison’s contract situation could strengthen the hand of potential buyers, but his salary demands will also be a major factor in negotiations. Turkish clubs appear well placed financially, while interested sides in Brazil may struggle to compete on wages.
