Trabzonspor target Tottenham striker Richarlison as Turkish window closes

Turkish football authorities announced that the summer transfer window will close on Friday night, tightening the deadline for clubs to secure new signings. Amid the looming deadline, Trabzonspor has expressed firm interest in Brazilian striker Richarlison, who is currently on the books of Tottenham Hotspur. The 29‑year‑old has reportedly requested a move away from the Premier League side, a request that Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has not opposed, mirroring the club’s earlier handling of player departures.

De Zerbi’s stance comes after two other Spurs players—Kevin Danso and Pape Sarr—were permitted to leave on loan with purchase options before the English transfer deadline on Tuesday night. Danso joined Sunderland, while Sarr moved to Juventus, both deals allowing the clubs to evaluate the players before committing to a permanent transfer. In a separate development, Richarlison’s former club Everton declined a return move for the striker on Tuesday, leaving his future uncertain as the Turkish window approaches its final hours.
