Trabzonspor is closing in on another massive attacking statement, reportedly reaching an agreement on personal terms with Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison to lead the frontline alongside Egyptian icon Mohamed Salah.

Triple wages and rejected bids

According to Sky Sports journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Brazilian international has officially green-lit the move to the Turkish Super Lig.

The lure of the project is heavily backed by a lucrative financial package, with Trabzonspor agreeing to pay Richarlison three times his current Tottenham salary.

Despite the player's eagerness, negotiations between the clubs remain ongoing. Tottenham has already rejected two formal offers from the Turkish side, an opening bid of £15 million and a follow-up offer of £20 million.

Trabzonspor's board is now preparing a third, improved bid to finally break Spurs' resistance.

Pushing for an exit

Richarlison has made his intentions completely clear in North London. The striker recently held talks with Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi, confirming his absolute desire to leave the club before the transfer window concludes.

While club president Doğan has made Richarlison his absolute top priority, Trabzonspor is also keeping a shortlist of elite backup options in case Daniel Levy refuses to compromise on the transfer fee. The Turkish giants are actively monitoring:

• Pablo Felipe (West Ham United)
• Folarin Balogun (AS Monaco)

Pairing Richarlison with Mohamed Salah would instantly give Trabzonspor one of the most terrifying attacking duos in European football outside the top five leagues.

Tripling Richarlison's wages underscores the unprecedented financial ambition driving the Turkish club's project this season.
