Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly signalled their willingness to sell Richarlison after a Champions League club expressed an interest in signing the Spurs striker.
Richarlison was a surprise starter in the Europa League final, given the nod over captain Heung-min Son in Bilbao by Ange Postecoglou, and that might well prove to be the Brazilian’s final game in the Lilywhite shirt.
Journalist Ben Jacobs revealed at the start of this month that Richarlison wants to leave Tottenham in search of regular game time this summer.
According to reports, Thomas Frank’s arrival has not changed Spurs’ stance on Richarlison, with the 28-year-old allegedly not in the Dane’s plans for next season.
Tottenham approve move to Galatasaray for Richarlison
It has now been reported by Posta that Galatasaray have stepped forward to express their intention to sign the Spurs man.
The outlet claims that the Turkish club are currently attempting to retain Victor Osimhen after the Nigerian’s loan spell at Istanbul came to an end.
If they are unable to land Osimhen, Gala are expected to press ahead with a move for the former Everton man.

The report says that Tottenham have given the ‘green light’ for Richarlison to head to the Yellow-Reds, with the North Londoners willing to sanction a loan deal or a permanent sale.
Galatasaray could face competition for Richarlison from rivals
Posta say that Gala are expecting their local rivals Fenerbahce to potentially offer competition in the race for the 28-year-old’s signature.
The outlet does not say how much either club would be willing to offer Tottenham for the centre-forward, but this is not the first time the player has been linked with Jose Mourinho’s side.
