TOTTENHAM star Richarlison has been brutally trolled by football fans.
That’s after revealing his dream is to play for European giants Real Madrid.
Richarlison, 26, joined Spurs from Everton in a £60million transfer last summer.
But he endured a torrid time in north London, scoring just once in the league after failing to nail down a regular starting spot.
Indeed, he picked up more bookings than goals, receiving three yellow cards.
And Richarlison is hoping for better fortunes under new boss Ange Postecoglu, especially if leading striker Harry Kane departs.

However, the Brazil international also appears to have his sights set on an exit — just to his “dream” club Real Madrid.

Carlo Ancelotti coached Richarlison during their time together at Everton.
And the hitman admits he would not be able to say no should Real come calling.

Richarlison revealed: “Real Madrid links? Of course every player wants to wear the shirt of Real.
“It’s the biggest club in the world, but I have a club, a contract.
“I have to prove why they bought me for a high price. It was a bad season for me, also due to injuries I had.
“But it’s a dream, a dream of every player to wear Real’s shirt. But I still have to deliver wearing Tottenham’s shirt.
“Well, as everyone knows, Ancelotti coached me and Everton and we chat a lot. The other day I called him and he was with Vinicius and Militao.
“But there’s nothing going on, just friendship. We became very good friends at Everton where I could help him. This friendship will last forever.”
Unfortunately for Richarlison, football fans were left staggered by his comments, with many wondering whether Real would really want a one-goal forward to replace Benzema’s 19 strikes.
A fan said: “He’s more likely to end up at Luton.”
Another declared: “First try outscoring Dan Burn before dreaming about Real Madrid.”
