Richarlison Set for Summer Exit as Spurs Open Door to Sale

Tottenham Hotspur look poised to part ways with forward Richarlison this summer after new manager Thomas Frank reportedly green‑lit the Brazilian’s departure. The 28‑year‑old joined Spurs from Everton in 2022 for £50 million but has struggled to make a consistent impact, netting just 16 Premier League goals across three seasons.

In total, Richarlison has scored 20 times in 90 appearances for Tottenham, a tally curtailed by both injury setbacks and a lack of regular form. According to The Sun, Spurs would now consider offers as low as £20 million and are even open to a loan move—though a permanent transfer remains their preference.

Galatasaray have emerged as the frontrunners to secure his signature, with Turkish reports suggesting that a switch to Istanbul is “expected” in the coming weeks. The Super Lig champions, overseen by Okan Buruk, are keen to bolster their attack after Victor Osimhen’s prolific loan haul of 37 goals in 41 games, yet face stiff competition from a host of European clubs also linked with the Nigerian striker.

Richarlison’s contract in north London runs until 2027, mirroring the five‑year deal he penned upon his arrival from Goodison Park. Such longevity has given Spurs some leverage in negotiations, yet an accelerated sale appears to be the club’s clear intent.

Reflecting on the challenges that overshadowed his early Spurs tenure, Richarlison revealed that he battled depression in the wake of Brazil’s 2022 World Cup campaign. “Before I went to training, I wanted to go home, I wanted to go back to my room because, I don’t know what was going through my head,” he told ESPN Brasil in 2024. “I even went and told my dad I was going to give up. It’s kind of sad to talk like that, you know? What I went through after the World Cup, discovering things here at home from people who had lived with me for over seven years … It is crazy.”

As Tottenham prepare to reshape their forward line under Frank’s stewardship, Richarlison’s departure would signal the end of a turbulent but eventful chapter at the club—and potentially offer him a fresh start elsewhere.
