Tottenham star Richarlison has been linked with a move to Real Madrid in the past after making his name for club and country in recent years
Starring for his country at the 2022 World Cup, where he hit a fine double for Brazil in their tournament opener against Serbia, the goals unfortunately did not flow for him in north London. Scoring a vital brace in their Champions League clash against Marseille at the start of September, the attacker's only other goal came at the end of April after netting a late header in the 4-3 defeat against Liverpool.
"Look, of course every player wants to wear the shirt of Real Madrid, the biggest club in the world, but I have a club, a contract, I have to show why they bought me for a high price", he said, as reported by ESPN Brasil.
"This season went down also due to injuries at Tottenham, but it's a dream to wear the shirt of Real Madrid. But I have to show my value wearing the shirt of Tottenham."
"Well, as everyone knows, Ancelotti coached me at Everton and we chat a lot,” he said. “The other day, I called him and he was with Vinicius Junior and [Eder] Militao. But there’s nothing going on, just friendship.
"We became very good friends at Everton where I could help him. This friendship will last forever.”
