Saudi Arabian sides are reportedly interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison. They have monitored the Brazilian for a while now and can make a move for him in the summer.

The Telegraph journalist Matt Law has reported that PIF were interested in Richarlison last summer as well but didn’t make any concrete offer. They retain their interest in the striker but could now move in the upcoming summer window instead of January.

Richarlison joined Tottenham Hotspur for £50 million from Everton in the summer of 2022 and his contract expires in 2027. Hence, Spurs will only consider a big offer for him, and as per Matt Law, it is unlikely to come in the ongoing winter transfer window.

The Brazilian striker had a poor start to life at Tottenham, contributing just three goals and four assists in 35 games across competitions last season. He also started the current season poorly but has been in prolific form since his groin surgery in November.

He has scored five goals in his last six Premier League games. As per Matt Law, if this upturn in form continues, Tottenham might be unwilling to sell him altogether. However, a big offer from Saudi Arabia could lure them in the summer.

Law even claimed that he believes Richarlison could be playing in the Saudi Pro League in the next 12 months.
