Overview
- Reports on Wednesday say Richarlison has given a verbal agreement to join Trabzonspor and is urging Tottenham to accept the transfer.
- Turkish sources and journalists say Trabzonspor have submitted at least two bids above €10m but Spurs want a higher fee for the unsettled forward.
- Richarlison publicly rejected a return to Everton in a statement that said he will control his own future, and he remains under contract at Tottenham.
- The move follows a failed late-window double deal involving Iliman Ndiaye that collapsed when Richarlison could not agree personal terms to return to Everton.
- With the Turkish Super Lig window open for a few more days and Trabzonspor actively signing forwards, talks can continue and a fee or rejection will decide whether the transfer closes.
