Saudi Pro League clubs are weighing up a move for Richarlison this summer, talkSPORT understands.
The Brazil forward has been linked with a move away from Tottenham this summer.
The Mail first reported that Al Hilal are set to make a shock bid for Richarlison.
The 27-year-old’s future is in doubt due to Ange Postecoglou’s planned summer overhaul.
talkSPORT understands that Al Hilal, Al Ahli and Al Shabab have all discussed him internally. Saudi Pro League clubs also weighed-up a move for him in January.
Spurs are understood to not actively be looking to sell, but would consider a very strong bid.
The Saudis believe that a fee in excess of £60m would be needed to get the north London club to the negotiating table.
That figure is what Tottenham paid to Everton for the forward in 2022.
Since then, he has scored 15 goals in 66 games for the club.
His 2023/24 season was ended prematurely due to a calf injury.
Richarlison was left out of Brazil’s Copa America squad, with Postecoglou confirming that he had picked up a fresh problem.
“He picked up, in the last action of training yesterday, a calf injury,” the Spurs boss said.
“He’s gone for a scan so we’ll wait and see what the outcome is, but not available for today.”
The Brazilian missed the 2-1 win over Burnley and looks likely to be absent for their final two games of the season.
