Club see Tottenham player as ‘ideal substitute’ for departing star – Big improvement under Conte

Richarlison may have just arrived at Tottenham Hotspur, but his goals in his World Cup debut for Brazil are certainly a reason for new transfer rumours to show up.

The forward had already been linked to Paris Saint Germain in the past year, and this interest is once again highlighted today by Fichajes.

The outlet writes that Kylian Mbappé’s stay at the club is not guaranteed, and Richarlison becomes the ‘ideal substitute’ for him.

It’s recalled that PSG were already keen on Richarlison last summer, when the Frenchman was about to leave the club. It’s claimed it was Mbappé’s decision to stay in Paris that made the Brazilian ‘change his mind’ and accept the move to Tottenham.

Fichajes call the Spurs’ star ‘one of the most outstanding footballers in the Premier League’, highlighting the fact that he’s been improving under Antonio Conte.

The outlet just doesn’t say how hard Tottenham would work to keep Richarlison in case PSG actually come for him. He may be valued by Transfermarkt at only €50m, but as he signed a five-year deal with Spurs paying €58m for his transfer in June, we can bet Daniel Levy will demand a lot more to let him go in 2023.
