Richarlison most likely exit destination from Tottenham emerges as Real Madrid claim made
Richarlison could leave Tottenham when the transfer market reopens.
Richarlison is one of the most polarising players in the Tottenham squad, due to the inconsistency in his game.
Tottenham would not have gotten back into the game against Liverpool without Richarlison, but he often disappears and is not involved in matches.
There was constant exit speculation in the summer, and Thomas Frank may be willing to sanction an exit for the Brazilian forward just a few months later.
Richarlison exit on cards at Tottenham
John Wenham believes that a Richarlison exit could be on the cards in January, as there has been no chatter about a potential contract extension.
Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, he said: “The thing is against Forest last week, he offered nothing, we don’t see that Richarlison enough [the one against Liverpool], if we did he would be at Real Madrid or something.
“The way he can wind up players of the quality of Van Dijk, Alisson and others, who have seen it all in their career, he causes massive problems.
“If he could do it every week, he would be at Madrid, but he was basically unplayable for that sort of 15 minutes.
“The start of the season, he had a purple patch, outstanding against PSG in the Super Cup, we then play Burnley in the league and he scores two, including that fantastic acrobatic scissor kick, then he can go nine games without a goal, or have a mysterious injury.
“I still think there is a very decent chance he leaves Tottenham in January, I know he has 18 months left on his contract, there was serious interest in the summer, I expect MLS clubs to come back in for him.
“There is no sort of talk of an extension at Tottenham, so, I could still see Richarlison moving in the near future.”

Why is Richarlison potentially for sale at Tottenham?
The 28-year-old has scored eight goals this season in 26 matches, which is not a bad return by any means.
However, his temperament and injury issues have robbed Spurs of a potential superstar, and that is probably his best spell in years.
Richarlison has missed a total of 74 games for club and country since his move to North London in 2022, which is a huge part of the reason why they may be willing to move on.
He can produce moments of magic, but it is not often enough, due to inconsistency and the fitness problems.
