Richarlison transfer: Tottenham exit on cards after Saudi Arabia development
Tottenham have a decision to make on Richarlison ahead of the upcoming transfer window, with the Brazil international struggling at Spurs.
The North London outfit signed the 27-year-old from Everton in 2022, but he has failed to stamp his authority in N17.
Richarlison’s injuries woes at Spurs have been frustrating for fans and it wouldn’t be surprising to see them cut their losses on him in the coming months.
The centre-forward returned to action and scored for the Lilywhites as they lost 4-2 to Wolves at Molineux on Sunday (13 April).
Tottenham will lose Richarlison as Saudi Arabia transfer wanted
Richarlison has decided to join a Saudi outfit in the upcoming transfer window, Jorge Nicola says.
The Brazilian journalist revealed that two clubs from Saudi Arabia have already made big offers to sign the 27-year-old next summer.
| Appearances (2024/25) | Goals | Assists |
| 16 | 4 | 1 |
Nicola also claims that the striker has ruled out a return to his home country and is more likely to move to Saudi soon.
Speaking via Bolavip (13 March), the journalist said: “Unable to play due to a series of injuries at Tottenham and ruling out a return to Brazil, Richarlison is more likely to move to Saudi Arabia. Two clubs have already signalled with big offers for the middle of the year.”
Spurs have to undergo major transfer revamp next summer
Spurs’ prospects in the Premier League don’t look good as they sit 15th in the table after losing to Wolves.
Daniel Levy may sack Ange Postecoglou if things get worse, with the Europa League the Australian manager’s potential lifeline at the North London outfit.
The Lilywhites are enduring one of their worst seasons in recent history, and fans will want to see the hierarchy make significant changes next summer.
Tottenham should sign a new number nine capable of consistently scoring goals, with Dominic Solanke failing to live up to expectations in N17.
Other players, like Son Heung-min, who saved the North London outfit in previous campaigns, have seen their form dip.
Richarlison was expected to be Harry Kane’s successor at Spurs, but the Brazilian national’s time at the Lilywhites seems to be coming to an end.
Postecoglou’s uncertain future at the Lilywhites shouldn’t prevent Levy from implementing plans for next summer, with several other positions in the squad also needing reinforcements.
It will be interesting to see where Richarlison eventually ends up, as his time at the North London outfit has seen his stock tank.
