Tottenham new signing Richarlison: Offer also from Chelsea

Everton had to sell

Richarlison, joining Tottenham from Everton, was one of the 11 most expensive transfers of the past summer. At Spurs, it could even become the most expensive purchase in club history. The necessary basic transfer fee of 58 million euros apparently went hand in hand with the Londoners without any discussion – one of the reasons why it was Tottenham and not Chelsea for the Brazilian. Another was Antonio Conte.

“I know Chelsea made an offer and I think Arsenal also contacted Everton to ask about my situation, but Spurs came and paid the fee. It’s as simple as that,” explained the striker (quoted via “Evening Standard“). “Everton had to sell some players to avoid a financial fair play issue and the negotiations were very short to be honest.”

Richarlison did not reveal what would have been necessary for him personally so that the trip to London would have gone to Chelsea instead of Spurs. On the other hand, he links the decision for Tottenham with coach Conte. “I was on holiday in Brazil when I heard that Tottenham had made an offer to Everton,” said the Seleção forward, who scored twice for Brazil in Friday’s friendly against Ghana. I was happy because they are a huge team. Then it was about the clubs negotiating a deal and fortunately everything went well. Antonio Conte called me during the negotiations and stressed how much he wanted me on board – that was crucial for my decision.”
