Richarlison is set to have a medical in Brazil today after Tottenham Hotspur agreed in principle with Everton to purchase him, according to reports.
The ultimate price for Richarlison will be discussed today between Tottenham and Everton.
Tottenham expect to spend somewhere in the neighborhood of £50 million for Richarlison, pending those discussions.
To raise the total to almost £60 million, the north London team might spend a further £10 million in add-ons.
It’s believed that there are personal terms in place.
Everton reportedly turned down a £40 million deal for Richarlison on Wednesday before the price was dramatically increased. A second club unexpectedly expressed interest in him, but Spurs are on track and expect to finalize the deal in the next few days.
Everyone is believed to want to transfer to Spurs.
Tottenham’s interest in Richarlison was first revealed by The Athletic earlier this month.
The Brazilian joined Everton in 2018, but he now wants to test himself against European competition.
Richarlison would have the opportunity to do so thanks to Tottenham, as Conte’s team qualified for the Champions League by placing fourth the previous year.
Brazilian international Richarlison, who has received 36 caps, has 53 goals in 152 games since moving to Everton from Watford for £51 million.
In 30 Premier League appearances last season, he scored 10 goals, helping Everton stay in the top division.
Richarlison will join Tottenham ahead of the new season, after Yves Bissouma, Fraser Forster, and Ivan Perisic.
