Tottenham open to Richarlison sale for squad revamp
Tottenham open to Richarlison sale for squad revamp
Tottenham want to offload their outcast in the January transfer window.
Richarlison has experienced mixed fortunes since joining Tottenham Hotspur from Everton in July 2022. Poor form and fitness issues ruined his spell for the most part, though he showed solid form in the 2025/26 campaign and helped Spurs stay in the top flight.
The Brazilian wanted to leave the club in the summer, but a transfer did not materialise due to several factors. The 29-year-old remains outside Roberto De Zerbi’s project in North London, with little sign of a return to the first-team fold despite Tottenham struggling to score goals. Richarlison looks certain to leave Tottenham in the upcoming January window as he enters the final six months of his contract, and some clubs have already begun doing groundwork on a potential deal.

Fulham, Everton express interest in signing Richarlison
Recent reports suggest Spurs have slashed their asking price of Richarlison to €10m. The North London outfit had previously been asking for as much as €25m during the summer transfer window. This has been a part of the club’s plan to move on the 29-year-old off their books permanently in the winter transfer window.
Now, according to reputed ESPN Brazil journalist Bruno Andrade, Fulham are showing an interest in signing the Tottenham outcast. Everton, Galatasaray and Trabzonspor also remain keen on the forward.
Turkish duo Galatasaray and Trabzonspor have indicated they could offer him better wages than he’s currently earning at Spurs. Neither Fulham nor Everton are expected to match Richarlison’s existing salary. Bruno Andrade adds that the Brazilian international is giving priority to moving to the Turkish Super Lig in 2027, giving Galatasaray and Trabzonspor a clear advantage over Fulham and Everton.
Last month, Richarlison played for the North London club’s Under-21s against Cheltenham Town in the EFL Trophy. The centre-forward scored for the Under-21s as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Cheltenham before losing 7-6 on penalties. The South American star is trying his best to keep himself in shape ahead of a potential departure from the club in January.
Links with Galatasaray and Trabzonspor have recently resurfaced ahead of the winter window, after the Turkish duo failed to secure Richarlison’s services despite pursuing him actively during the summer. The versatile forward’s preference, for now, is understood to be ending his time in England and moving to Turkey to spend the next few years at a high level, with both Trabzonspor and Galatasaray exploring the prospect of signing him.
