'The money is big but my dreams are bigger' - Richarlison reveals he’s rejecting lucrative Saudi Arabia offer to stay at Tottenham as Brazilian eyes World Cup spot

The forward was linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League this summer with teams like reigning champions Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli reportedly interested in signing him. However, Richarlison has now clarified that he won't leave Tottenham in the ongoing transfer window.

The 27-year-old had an impressive outing with Spurs in the 2023-24 campaign as he scored 11 league goals in 28 appearances, but he was left out of the Brazil squad at Copa America 2024 due to a hamstring injury. The Brazilian, however, aims to improve his game further while staying in the Premier League to secure a spot in the national team squad for the 2026 World Cup in Canada, United States and Mexico.

Speaking to ESPN, the former Everton player said, "There has been an offer but my dream of playing for the Brazilian Selecao and in the Premier League speaks louder. The money is big but my dreams are bigger."
