TheBoyHotspur understands that Tottenham Hotspur are planning to sell Richarlison at the end of the season. Although Everton wants to bring the Brazilian striker back on loan, Tottenham are prioritising a permanent sale.
We are told that some inside the club view feel that 16th in the division is down to a number of factors, and in respect of Richarlison, he is very high upon the list of players that have underdelivered, the attacker’s deal is seen as having somewhat maxed out.
If €35 million could be salvaged, then the sooner, the better.
Negotiations with Everton and others are still in their early stages, but a purchase obligation may be included in the loan agreement.
Everton are targeting Richarlison to strengthen their attacking lineup following the departure of Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Additionally, Wolves, Leeds United, Newcastle United, Fluminense, Palmeiras, Neom SC, Al Hilal, Al Ahli, and Al Shabab have also expressed interest in the player.
Everton leads talks with Tottenham, and Spurs could offload the Brazilian if a suitable offer arrives. Sources indicate that Spurs are looking to secure approximately 35 million euros from the sale of the Brazilian striker.
Our view
What a shocker. Surely this was yet another Sissoko deal from Daniel, to spread bet a large fee over numerous years to leverage his spending, irrespective of the player being any good or not.
Yes, there was ‘some’ form there, but it wasn’t ever enough to warrant tying up so much cash on a player that was either not scoring or being temperamental.
Football is a results-based business, and football clubs need to sign players who do what they are supposed to. Richarlison has never been a prolific goalscorer, and to sink the reported sum into him, at this stage in his career, appeared to be muddled thinking.
Get the cash back into a player who can score goals.
