Tottenham Hotspur Transfer Live News: In the latest Tottenham Hotspur transfer live news on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, Brazilian striker Richarlison has verbally agreed to join Turkish Super Lig giants Trabzonspor.
According to football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the 29-year-old forward has accepted a massive salary proposal that would see him earn three times his current weekly wages at Tottenham Hotspur.
While the player has given his approval to the move, Tottenham have already rejected two formal transfer bids worth 15 million pounds and 20 million pounds, with the Turkish club now working on an improved third offer before the window shuts.
Tottenham Hotspur Transfer Live News: Richarlison Agrees Terms On September 2, 2026
Trabzonspor has made Richarlison its number-one transfer priority for the 2026 season and accelerated negotiations on September 2, 2026. The Turkish heavyweights presented the Brazilian international with a lucrative multi-year contract, offering a salary package triple what he currently earns in North London.
Richarlison was convinced by the financial terms and sporting role presented by the Turkish side, giving his complete green light to the transfer.
The massive wage offer underlines Trabzonspor’s ambition to mount a serious title challenge in the Turkish top flight during the 2026 27 campaign.
However, while personal terms are fully agreed between the player and Trabzonspor, club-to-club negotiations remain active as Tottenham holds out for an acceptable fee.
Spurs Reject Opening Bids Worth 15 Million And 20 Million Pounds
Tottenham Hotspur have taken a firm stance regarding Richarlison’s market valuation. The London club hierarchy, led by chairman Daniel Levy, quickly knocked back Trabzonspor’s initial offer of 15 million pounds earlier in the week, followed by a second improved bid of 20 million pounds on September 2, 2026.
Tottenham spent 60 million pounds to sign the forward from Everton in July 2022 and are not prepared to sanction a cut-price exit.
While Spurs are open to parting ways with the Brazilian striker, they are demanding a fee closer to their valuation before granting official permission for his departure.
Trabzonspor are not backing out of talks and is anticipated to table a new bid in the coming hours.
Turkish Transfer Window Deadline Set For September 4 2026
The primary reason this deal remains very much alive is the difference in transfer window schedules across Europe.
While the English Premier League summer transfer window slammed shut at the end of August 2026, the Turkish Super Lig registration window remains officially open until midnight on Friday, September 4, 2026.
This remaining window gives Trabzonspor two more days to negotiate with Tottenham and finalize paperwork.
For Tottenham Hotspur, it presents a final window of opportunity to offload a high-earning attacker who has faced recurring injury issues and free up significant wage resources ahead of the domestic season.
What The Potential Move Means For Tottenham Hotspur In 2026
Richarlison’s potential departure would mark a major turning point in Tottenham Hotspur’s transfer live news for 2026.
Across his spell in North London, the Brazilian striker showed moments of real quality but struggled to maintain long stretches of consistent form due to fitness setbacks.
Clearing his substantial weekly wages and recouping a respectable transfer sum would provide Tottenham with financial flexibility when the global transfer market reopens in January 2027.
With the September 4 deadline fast approaching in Turkey, both clubs are locked in crucial talks to see if an agreement can be sealed in time.
