Juventus are keeping tabs on Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison, but he would only arrive as a replacement for Dusan Vlahovic.
The Bianconeri have already recruited Jonathan David on a free transfer, and they’re extremely close to bringing back Randal Kolo Muani for a second stint after reaching an agreement in principle with Paris Saint-Germain.
Nevertheless, the fate of Vlahovic remains the biggest mystery in Turin, as the management is keen to sell him this summer before his contract expires next year, but they have yet to find a suitor willing to match his hefty salary.
Juventus still working on bolstering their attack
In recent days, it has been confirmed in the Italian press that Kolo Muani’s arrival isn’t necessarily intertwined with Vlahovic’s exit. In other words, the Old Lady should be able to sign the Frenchman, even if the Serbian decides to dwell in Continassa.
That being said, if Juve can find a way to offload Vlahovic, they would be able to make room for a new attacking addition.
According to sources close to Juve FC, the Serie A giants could be interested in Richarlison who would be available for €30 million.
The former Watford and Everton striker started his campaign on a high note, leading Spurs towards a comfortable 3-0 win over Burnley by bagging a brace.
Nevertheless, the Brazilian would be willing to change air for the right offer.
Why Juventus are considering Richarlison
Moreover, the 28-year-old’s contract with the North Londoners will expire in June 2027, so this could be the right time for the club to cash in on his services before his market value plummets.
Thomas Frank would still be able to rely on Dominic Solanke and Mathys Tel upfront, while the club is said to be pursuing another attacking addition.
But at this stage, the first step for Juventus is to find new accommodation for Vlahovic before examining their attacking department and deciding whether to make an additional signing, or rely solely on David and Kolo Muani.

I don’t know why Spurs and Juve don’t just do a straight swap with Richarlison for Vlahovic. I think as Del Boy would say, “Everyone’s a winner”
Vlahovic …??? If he stays, Juventus will LOSE. Comolli is VERY WEAK. WHO is the boss??? WHO is the leader??? Comolli or Vlahovic??? If Comolli can’t sell, then he should pay Vlahovic with his own money.
Comolli ,
If you DO NOT complete the sale, you MUST pay the salary of ALL UNSOLD players AS A PENALTY. Either learn to sell or pay the penalty.
I don’t see why spurs would do this. Richarlson off to a great start, and I think honestly that their new manager would prefer richarlson to solanke because wthomas frank had wides upfront at Brentford. Richarlson plays more like him than solanke. More of a second striker false 9 to get the wingers more involved. But given Richarlsons track record at spurs we’ll have to see. I think frank can revitalize him.
*Wissa
As if Vlahovic is going to move from Juve. He will be loosing a lucrative contract of Eur 12 million (net) till the end of his contract next year. Which club is going to accept such a nonsense contract?
