Prior to it, however, Richarlison had interest from Chelsea and Arsenal.
The 25-year-old has finally clarified how Antonio Conte prevailed in the competition for his business.
“I know Chelsea made an offer, and I believe Arsenal also contacted Everton to check about my status, but Spurs came in and paid the fee, you know?” Richarlison, who is abroad on national team duty, stated. That’s all there is to it. In order to avoid a Financial Fair Play issue, Everton had to sell a few players, and the negotiations were, to be honest, extremely quick.

“When I learned that Tottenham had made Everton an offer, I was on vacation in Brazil. They have a sizable team, which made me delighted. The clubs had to then negotiate a contract, which happily went off without a hitch. It was crucial for me to make my decision that Antonio Conte called me during the discussions to say how much he would like to have me on board.
