Tottenham Hotspur‘s Richarlison could leave the Premier League side for Juventus this summer.
The Brazil international’s contract is until next June and has reportedly refused to sign an extension.
Juventus are also looking at Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario as an alternative to Aston Villa star Emiliano Martínez.
Roberto De Zerbi knows Juve CEO Giovanni Carnevali well from their time at Sassuolo. Last week, Sport Witness covered claims from Italy that the Spurs manager is working on getting rid of the forward. He brought Richarlison during talks for Vicario with Carnevali.
Juve make approach for Tottenham man
Monday’s edition of Corriere dello Sport points out the Brazilian’s name has been around the Italian market for several years.
The situation this summer is different because his contract expires in 2027 and the north London club have decided to offload him.
Juventus, who have an interest in the 29-year-old, have made an approach to gather the necessary information.
His contract situation makes him a market opportunity for the Old Lady, unnamed clubs in Turkey and Saudi Arabia. That doesn’t mean the Turin club will make advances in the next few days.
Former Tottenham man priority
Randal Kolo Muani spent the second half of the 2024/25 season on loan at Juventus from Paris Saint-Germain.
He wanted to return to Italy, but the clubs couldn’t agree terms, and this allowed him to join Tottenham Hotspur on loan last summer.
The 27-year-old has returned to PSG, where he still has no future. Juventus are ready to welcome him and have been negotiating for the past few weeks.
Corriere claims Kolo Muani is their main striker target, and this week is the key to sign him.
There’s a difference in valuation, and Luciano Spalletti’s side have made improvements with bonuses and sell-on percentage.
They are optimistic the Frenchman’s desire to join them can help them secure a deal with the Champions League winners.
The Italian club will turn their attention towards Spurs’ Richarlison if a deal for Kolo Muani doesn’t materialise.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side have to find another club if Juve decide not to move ahead for the Brazilian.
