A report from CalcioMercato suggests Juventus view the former Everton star as a potential Dusan Vlahovic replacement.

The Serbian striker could be on his way out of Turin in the next transfer window, with Chelsea and Arsenal previously admirers of the player.

Meanwhile, Mundo Deportivo claims that Real Madrid have an interest in the Spurs man.

Los Blancos are preparing to sign a long-term replacement for Karim Benzema, and while Kylian Mbappe is a top target, Richarlison could be an alternative.

The 25-year-old has struggled to find his best form for the North London side since his move from Everton last summer.

He is yet to score a Premier League goal for Spurs, although he did have one ruled out for offside in the victory over Nottingham Forest.

Off the pitch, it has not been much better as he criticised manager Antonio Conte for dropping him to the bench and that it had been a “s*** season”.

Conte hit back at his comments saying: “First of all I watched the interview of Richarlsion. He didn’t criticise me. He said his season was s*** and he’s right.

“His season has been not good. He had injuries, played and scored in the Champions League and then went to the World Cup and then had a serious injury. 

“He’s scored no goals for us. I think he was really honest to say his season was not good. His season has not finished yet. If he deserves to play I’ll give him the opportunity.

“For the rest of the interview, I think he made a mistake. When you speak of ‘I’ and not ‘us’ you are being selfish.”
