26-year-old Tottenham attacker opens up on Real Madrid links: “Every player wants that”
Following the departure of Karim Benzema to Al-Ittihad, Real Madrid have stepped up their efforts to sign a new forward ahead of the new season.
Harry Kane was reportedly earmarked as the club’s desired target in the transfer market. But signing the Englishman could bring some complications, possibly affecting the club’s plans to go big on Kylian Mbappe or Erling Haaland in the summer of 2024.
With that in mind, Real Madrid are scouring the market for other alternatives. They have been linked with a move for Richarlison, among others.
The Brazilian, who had worked with Carlo Ancelotti during their time at Everton, has even reacted to the Santiago Bernabeu links in a recent press conference, suggesting he would love to wear the Real Madrid shirt.
“Real Madrid links? Of course, every player wants to wear the shirt of Real Madrid, it’s the biggest club in the world,” Richarlison said in the presser.
However, the Brazilian international clarified that he has a contract at Tottenham Hotspur, adding, “But I have a club, a contract, I have to prove why it they bought me for a high price. But any player dreams of playing for Real Madrid.”
Formerly of Watford, Richarlison has scored only one goal during his first season at Spurs. He had joined the club last summer for a fee of almost €60 million, but the attacker has not been able to live up to his price tag.
The Brazilian, therefore, is keen on proving himself at Spurs before he can make the jump to a bigger club such as Real Madrid. However, the forward would perhaps not want to miss out on the opportunity to join Los Blancos this summer, if given the chance.
To that end, Real Madrid have not made any notable moves to sign Richarlison this summer. It appears the club are favouring a move for Frenchman Randal Kolo Muani, in their bid to sign a cost-effective alternative for Harry Kane.

Real Madrid very happy with future star Endrick, eagerly awaiting his arrival in 2024 – Romano
Real Madrid’s attacking unit has been crippled by the loss of Karim Benzema earlier in the summer, which was followed by the loss of Vinicius Jr due to injury.
Although Vinicius has returned, there is much left to be desired from the Madrid frontline as we progress through to the season.
Real Madrid, though, are waiting on the arrival of Endrick. The young Brazilian is set to join the Real Madrid squad in the summer of 2024 when he turns 18.
Real Madrid impressed by Endrick
Endrick has already started his preparation for his pending move to Santiago Bernabeu, having performed exceptionally well in his native Brazil this year.
The youngster is constantly working on his game, in order to further improve himself as an attacker. It has left Real Madrid quite happy and eager for his arrival, reports Fabrizio Romano.
The journalist claims that Real Madrid have been keeping close tabs on everything Endrick has been doing, on and off the pitch, at Palmeiras.
And they have received very good reports on the 17-year-old, with the club impressed by how he is putting efforts to improve himself both performance-wise and in other facets.
Despite there being some question marks over his performances, the teenage forward is starting to showcase his potential, having scored five goals in five starts for Palmeiras.
Endrick also learning new languages
Endrick is not only just working on his performance. In fact, the Brazilian is also learning other languages in order to quickly settle into life in Spain.
The youngster can speak Portuguese, but he may have to master Spanish during his time at Santiago Bernabeu.
As mentioned earlier, Endrick can already speak Portuguese, which should go a long way in helping him team up with fellow Brazilians Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo.
Even Eder Militao can speak Portuguese, which should make it easier for Endrick to adapt to life in Spain, at least for the next year or so.
