Brazilian striker Richarlison has made it clear that he wants to stay at Tottenham Hotspur, turning down a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia. The 27-year-old forward, who joined Spurs from Everton in 2022 for a record-breaking £60m, is determined to continue his career in the Premier League.
Despite not being a regular starter under Ange Postecoglou last season, Richarlison has scored 15 goals in 66 appearances for Tottenham. His contract runs until 2027, and he's attracted interest from several Saudi Arabian clubs, with one team even making a bid.
However, Richarlison's dream of playing for Brazil's national team and competing in the Premier League takes priority. In an interview with ESPN Brazil, he said, "There has been an offer, but my dream of playing for the Brazilian Selecao and in the Premier League speaks louder."
Meanwhile, Tottenham is still on the hunt for a new striker this summer. They've set their sights on Bournemouth's Dominic Solanke, who impressed with 21 goals in 42 games last season. However, the Cherries are reluctant to let him go, especially after he was overlooked for England's Euro 2024 squad.
Solanke's contract has a £65m release clause, but Tottenham values him at a lower price. The negotiations are ongoing, but it's clear that Richarlison is committed to staying at Spurs and fighting for his place in the team.
