Tottenham could see star striker Richarlison leave in the summer, should an offer come in for the Brazilian. That’s according to HITC Football’s Graeme Bailey, who spoke exclusively to The Spurs News about a possible exit.
“Richarlison isn’t on the market but if he sees other forwards coming in, it’s going to be an interesting one if the Saudi interest remains,” Bailey said. “I think they would listen to offers if someone offered a profit there.”
It remains to be seen if an offer will be made for the former Everton man, who cost the club £60million nearly two-years ago. But with the goals starting to flow, it could put Tottenham in an interesting situation.
Tottenham Hotspur would consider offers worth over £60 million for Richarlison this summer.
Richarlison has emerged as a key player for Ange Postecoglou in recent weeks after a fine run of goalscoring form.
The Brazilian has netted nine times in his last 10 league appearances, with five of his goals coming at a crucial time while Heung-min Son was at the Asian Cup.
But interest from the Saudi Pro League in Richarlison remains and The Spurs News spoke exclusively to HITC Football’s Graeme Bailey about the forward’s future.
Tottenham could consider Richarlison sale
After snapping up Richarlison for £60 million from Everton just over 18 months ago, Spurs would consider a possible exit for the Brazilian should a huge offer arrive.
“In terms of forwards, will we see exits there? It wouldn’t surprise me if Manor Solomon is moved on,” Bailey said.
“Richarlison isn’t on the market but if he sees other forwards coming in, it’s going to be an interesting one if the Saudi interest remains.
“I think they would listen to offers if someone offered a profit there.”
It’s no secret that Richarlison struggled during his first year at Spurs as he managed just one Premier League goal.
The Brazil international didn’t exactly hit the ground running this term either as he lost his place as Postecoglou’s No.9 to Son. But since returning from groin surgery in early December, the 26-year-old has finally started to find his feet at Tottenham.
It would be a shame to see Richarlison move on this summer as he could have an important role to play under Postecoglou.
Yet, with the Spurs manager seemingly eyeing further attacking reinforcements, his future remains uncertain.
Selling the likes of Richarlison or Manor Solomon may be necessary for Tottenham to bring in top targets, such as Pedro Neto and Raphinha.
