Tottenham Hotspur are expected to part ways with Richarlison this summer after reports revealed a verbal agreement is already in place for his departure.
The Brazilian forward is now attracting strong interest from clubs in South America, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, as Spurs prepare for another squad rebuild.
Spurs Facing Multiple High-Profile Departures
Tottenham could lose more than one key player during the upcoming transfer window.
Defender Cristian Romero has recently expressed frustration with the club’s recruitment strategy and lack of ambition. Despite signing a contract extension until 2029, the Argentine is widely expected to leave this summer.
Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, and Real Madrid are all monitoring his situation, with Champions League football and title challenges believed to be his main priorities.
According to journalist Gastón Edul, Romero is determined to seek a move away regardless of managerial plans.
Richarlison Reaches Verbal Exit Agreement
According to ESPN Brazil, Richarlison has also agreed verbally with Tottenham’s board to leave at the end of the season.
Spurs have reportedly set an asking price of around £22 million, making him an attractive target for several clubs.
Flamengo are particularly interested, having allocated up to £26 million for attacking reinforcements following their failed move for Kaio Jorge.
Flamengo, Turkey, and Saudi Interest
While Flamengo are eager to bring Richarlison back to Brazil, the striker’s preference is reportedly to continue his career abroad.
Turkey and Saudi Arabia are currently viewed as his most likely destinations, should talks with the Brazilian giants fail to progress.
Flamengo head coach Filipe Luís is said to be a big admirer of Richarlison and would welcome him to Rio de Janeiro if a deal becomes possible.
Injury Could Delay Transfer Talks
At present, Richarlison is recovering from a thigh injury and is expected to remain sidelined for another three weeks.
As a result, formal negotiations are unlikely to begin before March, giving interested clubs time to prepare potential offers.
Despite this setback, Tottenham appear open to a sale and ready to reshape their attacking options.
Tottenham Preparing for Major Squad Changes
With Romero and Richarlison both linked with exits, Spurs may be heading towards a significant overhaul this summer.
The club’s hierarchy are expected to reinvest funds into new signings, as they aim to return to Champions League contention.
Richarlison’s departure now looks increasingly likely, marking the end of a challenging spell in North London.
