Brazilian journalist Vene Casagrande claims to have spoken to the representatives of one Premier League striker about the rumours of an impending offer from Tottenham Hotspur.
Various reliable sources have said that Spurs are ready to listen to offers for Richarlison this summer and are expected to enter the market for a new striker to compete with Dominic Solanke.
It was previously reported that Tottenham had set their sights on Rodrigo Muniz, who found the back of the net 11 times at Craven Cottage during the 2024-25 season.
Just a few days ago, GiveMeSport claimed that Spurs are ready to push ahead with an offer for Muniz, revealing that the Lilywhites will have to pay £50m to land the Brazilian this summer.
Negotiations with Tottenham denied by Rodrigo Muniz’s camp
Brazilian journalist Vene Casagrande has now taken to social media to provide an update on the 24-year-old’s future and has revealed that rumours of an impending move from Spurs are exaggerated.
In fact, Casagrande claims that Muniz’s entourage have denied that Tottenham have even started negotiations with Fulham regarding the striker.
Interestingly, he also revealed that the forward’s former club, Flamengo, would be owed 25 per cent of the fee that the Cottagers receive for the forward, plus an additional fee via FIFA’s solidarity mechanism.

That might explain why the West London club are demanding a premium for the centre-forward.
Tottenham face competition for Muniz but they may have an ace up their sleeve
It was previously suggested that Spurs could face competition from Chelsea for Muniz, but it is unclear if the Blues are still interested in the Fulham man, now that they have secured a deal for Liam Delap.
Meanwhile, various publications have said over recent weeks that Marco Silva is one of the leading contenders to replace Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham.
