With Ange Postecoglou’s future at Tottenham hanging in the balance, Richarlison is in no rush to make a decision on his own.
Richarlison has been linked with a move away from Tottenham Hotspur over the last few months, but he might not rush into making any decision. According to a report from Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, the Brazilian striker will wait to take a call on his future amidst uncertainty around the future of manager Ange Postecoglou. If Spurs end up sacking the Australian tactician this summer, the South American attacker might end up staying at the club.
The Brazilian international made a name for himself with his consistent performances at Everton. He was considered one of the best young forwards in the Premier League, and Tottenham went all out to sign him in a £60 million deal in the summer of 2022.
While they forked out a significant fee to bring him in with hopes he would become the focal point of their attack, the move has not worked out, as his time at the club has been marred by inconsistent minutes, recurring injuries, and an inability to secure a regular place in the team.
He has missed a handful of games this season because of injuries. While Richarlison’s contract at the club runs until the summer of 2027, he has been constantly linked with a move away. Everton are keen on re-signing him despite his struggles in North London. But they can only afford a loan deal because of his lofty wages at Spurs.
Meanwhile, Saudi Pro League clubs, who wanted to sign the Brazilian last summer, could return for his signature ahead of next season. While Tottenham do not seem to be interested in a loan deal, they are willing to sanction a permanent departure as they look to recoup a large part of what they had invested.
Richarlison’s future is tied to Postecoglou’s fate
The player is keen on having an important role in a team as he wants to ensure he is a part of the Brazil squad for the World Cup next year. He has already made some key decisions about his future at the club. The former Everton forward is willing to play the waiting game as Ange Posetcoglou’s future is uncertain.
The Australian manager, who enjoyed an impressive first season at the North London club, could soon face the axe as the team has struggled under his leadership in his second year in charge. His future might depend on how far they go in the Europa League.
Should the club decide to part ways with him, it could hand Richarlison a fresh opportunity to revive his Tottenham career. As a result, he is expected to wait until the summer before making a decision on his future. A new manager might see him as a key asset, which is why he is likely to delay any potential move away from North London.
