Riyadh, July 21, 2024 – Brazilian forward Richarlison, currently playing for Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League, has expressed great enthusiasm for joining the Roshn Saudi Professional League in the upcoming season. He praised the league’s high level of competition and the presence of prominent stars.
According to English journalist Ben Jacobs, Richarlison has explicitly shown his desire to join one of the Roshn League clubs. This has been corroborated by Tottenham Hotspur news specialist Graeme Bailey.
Jacobs noted that while Tottenham is open to letting Richarlison leave, the club is awaiting a suitable financial offer to approve his transfer.
Three Saudi clubs are in the race to sign the Brazilian national team striker: Al-Ittihad, Al-Shabab, and Al-Qadisiyah. Al-Shabab appears to be the frontrunner but must first offload their Senegalese forward Habib Diallo, who has not met expectations.
Richarlison joined the London club in the summer of 2022 from Everton, with his contract set to expire in the summer of 2027. The Brazilian player’s market value is estimated to be around €38 million.
