Juventus are exploring alternative attacking options ahead of the 2026/27 season, with Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison emerging as a serious candidate should a move for Randal Kolo Muani fail to materialize.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Brazilian international has become one of the names under close consideration as the Bianconeri continue to reshape their squad during the summer transfer window.
The possibility of signing Richarlison surfaced during recent discussions between Juventus and Tottenham.

Club CEO Giovanni Carnevali reportedly held talks with Spurs’ management, with the initial focus being goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.
However, the conversation also touched on the future of Richarlison, whose situation in North London has attracted growing interest.
Richarlison Emerges as a Realistic Opportunity
The 29-year-old Brazilian is entering the final year of his contract with Tottenham and is not expected to renew his deal. As a result, Spurs are prepared to listen to offers this summer rather than risk losing him for free in 2027.
Tottenham are believed to value the forward at between €20 million and €25 million, a price considered affordable for Juventus.
Richarlison also offers valuable experience at the highest level, and his return of 12 goals last season demonstrates that he can still make a significant impact in front of goal.
His versatility across the attacking line is another factor that makes him an attractive option for the Turin club.

Kolo Muani Remains Juventus’ First Choice
Despite the growing interest in Richarlison, Juventus have not changed their priorities. Randal Kolo Muani remains the club’s preferred target after impressing during his loan spell in Turin in 2025, where he scored eight Serie A goals in just 16 appearances.
Negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain are still ongoing, and Juventus remain hopeful of reaching an agreement for the French international.
However, if talks with the Ligue 1 champions fail to produce a positive outcome, Richarlison is expected to become the club’s primary alternative.
The biggest challenge for Juventus would likely be the Brazilian’s salary. Richarlison currently earns around €10 million per season, meaning any potential transfer would almost certainly require negotiations over his personal terms.
Even so, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Juventus are keeping the situation under close observation as they prepare for the new season.
