Richarlison's push to leave Tottenham has found a route out, with personal terms now agreed for a move to Trabzonspor.

Fabrizio Romano reported on 2 September that the Brazilian would roughly triple his current wage in Turkey, with Tottenham holding out for a bigger fee after rejecting two lower bids.

The move follows the collapse of a reported Everton return, and comes with Tottenham needing to trim a squad that currently sits one player over the Premier League's non-homegrown limit.

Trabzonspor's window shuts Friday night, three days after England's, leaving both clubs a short runway to close the gap on a fee.

The verdict77 / 100
Richarlison now rates Likely for a Trabzonspor move, with personal terms agreed and Tottenham's own squad rules pushing toward an exit.
It happens if Trabzonspor's next proposal closes the gap on Tottenham's valuation before Friday's Turkish deadline.
It only dies if the two clubs can't bridge the fee gap in time, with personal terms and Richarlison's own public push to leave no longer in question.
