Real Madrid are ‘keeping tabs on Tottenham forward Richarlison ahead of a potential summer move’ for the forward as he struggles for game time in north London, with a pursuit for Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic ‘also a possibility’
- Richarlison is yet to score a league goal for Tottenham since his £60m move
- Carlo Ancelotti has branded a move for a striker ‘essential’ in the summer
- Both players are just two of many forwards Los Blancos are said to be watching
Real Madrid are keeping tabs on Richarlison ahead of a potential summer move, according to a report.

Richarlison isn’t the only player the club are interested in, with Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic also reportedly on their radar.
