Tottenham Hotspur are poised to entertain bids for Richarlison come January, with the Brazilian forward contemplating a move stateside.
Under the stewardship of Thomas Frank, the North London club have enjoyed a respectable start to their campaign, nestling in seventh place in the Premier League following their opening seven fixtures. Richarlison, somewhat unexpectedly, has emerged as a pivotal figure in this early success. Benefitting from the misfortune of Dominic Solanke’s injury, the Brazilian has seized his opportunity, registering a commendable four goal involvements.
Yet, whispers of a potential exit continue to swirl around the 26-year-old, as Football Insider suggests that Spurs would be amenable to parting ways with him when the transfer window reopens. Richarlison himself is reportedly open to the prospect of embracing a new challenge in Major League Soccer.
Esteemed former Premier League chief scout Mick Brown, a figure still well-connected within the game, has suggested that now might be the opportune moment for Richarlison to embark on a new chapter. “The time has come for Richarlison to move on,” Brown opined to Football Insider. “Spurs appreciate his capabilities, but he’s not often trusted as the long-term solution. With Solanke currently sidelined, he’s had a fruitful spell, but it’s not believed he is the enduring answer to their attacking conundrums. A suitable offer in January could see him depart.”
Brown continues to elaborate that ongoing discussions about an MLS switch suggest a tangible interest from all parties involved. Should the right proposal surface, it seems likely that Tottenham will consider it, ensuring they can adequately adjust without their Brazilian talisman.
In related speculation, it is rumoured that Harry Kane could serve as Richarlison’s successor in 2026. However, former Premier League stalwart Gus Poyet has thrown his hat into the ring, suggesting that Kane ought to explore an entirely different path. “If he fancies a change for his family, then Barcelona would be a compelling move—especially if Lewandowski departs. The style of play there would complement him superbly,” Poyet advocated to GOAL.
