Tottenham are yet to receive any formal bids for Richarlison as the final transfer windows around the world draw to a close.
Spurs’ attacking woes continued on Saturday at Nottingham Forest, where they failed to register a shot on target. They have not scored in any of their opening three league matches for the first time since 1974.
Richarlison is no longer part of the Premier League squad after telling the club he wanted to leave over the summer. Roberto De Zerbi hinted it was “not my decision” to leave him out and Spurs now have an expensive exile on their hands.
Trabzonspor, the ambitious Turkish Super Lig outfit who signed Mohamed Salah this summer, came closest to signing the 29-year-old. However, The i Paper was told the move collapsed due to “high financial demands”. That included his wages, though the transfer fee was considered the “main obstacle”.
A return to Everton fell through at the end of the English window. It was a separate deal to Iliman Ndiaye and had no bearing on the forward’s decision to move to Manchester City over north London.
