Richarlison Rejects Saudi Offer to Stay at Tottenham
Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison has turned down a move to Saudi Arabia, affirming his commitment to remaining with the Premier League club. The 27-year-old Brazilian forward joined Spurs from Everton in 2022 for a club-record fee of £60 million. Despite not being a regular starter last season under manager Ange Postecoglou, Richarlison has scored 15 goals in 66 appearances for Tottenham.
Richarlison’s contract with Spurs extends until 2027, and he has garnered interest from several Saudi Arabian clubs, with one unnamed team making a formal bid. However, the forward has expressed his desire to stay in England to bolster his prospects with the Brazilian national team.
“There has been an offer, but my dream of playing for the Brazilian Selecao and in the Premier League speaks louder,” Richarlison told ESPN Brazil. His decision reflects a focus on maintaining his international career and achieving success in the competitive environment of the Premier League.
