Spurs set to sign Richarlison for only £4m fewer than what Liverpool paid for Nunez

Fabrizio Romano reports that Tottenham Hotspur are close to signing Richarlison after bidding £60m for the Everton forward.

The deal is set to be signed soon, with full agreements in place between the two clubs and the player.

In contrast, Liverpool paid a £64m guaranteed fee to Benfica for signing Darwin Nunez. Of course, that package can reach £80-85m with add-ons.

It's not mentioned if there are add-ons in Richarlison's deal but regardless, that's pretty high value for a player who has averaged eight non-penalty goals in his last five seasons. He scored 10 Premier League goals last campaign as Everton narrowly avoided relegation.

Meanwhile, Nunez scored 26 goals in 28 games for Benfica last season and is four years younger than Richarlison. It's early days, but it feels like Liverpool got a much better deal than Spurs!
