Richarlison heads to Trabzonspor after triple‑salary offer

Richarlison has agreed personal terms with Turkish Super Lig side Trabzonspor, signing a contract that would pay him roughly £270,000 per week – three times his current £90,000 weekly wage at Tottenham in North London, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Trabzonspor's ambition to bolster attack

Trabzonspor have identified the Brazilian forward as their priority attacking target, hoping his experience will strengthen a line that already welcomed Mohamed Salah from Liverpool earlier this summer. The club view the deal as a statement of intent in the Turkish Super Lig.

Tottenham have turned down two offers from the Black Sea Storm, valued at £15 million and £20 million, and the Turkish side are preparing a third, improved proposal. The rejection underscores the English club’s determination to retain the 29‑year‑old striker.

The Turkish transfer window in Turkey remains open until 4 September, well beyond the closure of the British market, giving Trabzonspor extra time to finalise the move. The deadline adds pressure on both parties to conclude negotiations before the window shuts.

Richarlison currently earns around £90,000 per week at Tottenham, not including bonuses, and the new deal would lift his weekly pay to roughly £270,000. Such a package would place him among the highest‑paid players in Turkish football.

For Tottenham, securing a fee after rejecting earlier bids could provide a financial boost ahead of the new season. The club’s hierarchy appears ready to consider a fresh offer that meets their valuation of the forward.

Trabzonspor are also navigating internal changes, having recently separated from coach Fatih Tekke and seeking a new tactical balance. The signing of Richarlison would complement their recent high‑profile acquisitions and signal stability.
