Tottenham Hotspur attacker Richarlison has been linked with a move away from the club during the summer transfer window.
Richarlison was initially linked with a move back to his former club, Everton, but they have ruled out the transfer because of his price tag. Turkish outfit Galatasaray are now keen on securing his signature, according to a report from The Sun. The report further claims that Tottenham have approved his exit.
The Brazilian attacker, who cost Tottenham £50 million, has not been able to live up to the expectations since joining the North London club from Everton, and he struggled with injury problems last season as well. A fresh start could be ideal, and he needs to join another club where he will play regularly. He is unlikely to be a regular starter for Tottenham if he stays at the club.
Meanwhile, Spurs should look to invest in quality attackers. They have been linked with players like Bryan Mbeumo, Mohammed Kudus, and Antoine Semenyo in recent weeks. It suggests that they are looking to bring in dynamic attackers who are capable of operating centrally as well as on the flanks.
Therefore, Richarlison will fall further down the pecking order if he stays at the North London club. It makes sense for him to move on this summer. It remains to be seen whether any club is willing to pay the asking price for him.
Richarlison could be a good player in the right team
The Brazilian international has previously shown his quality in the Premier League with Everton, and he has impressed at Tottenham in bits and pieces. There is no doubt that the 28-year-old is a quality player, and he needs to join a team which will bring out the best in him. It remains to be seen where he ends up.
Tottenham have secured Champions League qualification for the 2025/26 season, and they will look to improve their squad this summer. They need to sign players who will help them compete at the elite level. Spurs finished in the bottom half of the league table last season, and they need to bounce back strongly. Getting rid of their fringe players would be a wise decision for them.
It will be interesting to see if Galatasaray can seal the deal to sign Richarlison after Everton’s decision to rule out a move. Tottenham will demand around £20 million to part ways with him in the summer transfer window.
