Tottenham forward Richarlison has once again been linked with a move away from north London. Speculation in Brazil puts him on the radar of Flamengo and Crystal Palace.
The claims were relayed this week by BolaVip, who stressed that any deal would require between £20m and £25m to convince Spurs.
The report points out that Flamengo’s strong financial position could allow them to compete. However, it also highlights Crystal Palace as a realistic Premier League option for the striker.
That detail is seen as important, since the 28-year-old has spent most of his career in England. He remains a regular call-up under Carlo Ancelotti for Brazil and won’t want to endanger that.
What sparked further debate in Brazil was the reaction of commentator Renato Maurício Prado. Writing on social media, he downplayed the idea of Richarlison moving to Flamengo and said bluntly: “Another one who doesn’t excite me…”
His words divided opinion among supporters. Some argued a player of his calibre would add quality, while others questioned his consistency.
For Flamengo, the move would be a statement of ambition. Yet doubts remain over how much impact he would truly have in their attack.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace’s presence in the story adds a more grounded option. That transfer would keep the forward in the Premier League environment where he is already established.
At this stage, it remains to be seen whether either side will move beyond speculation, but the combination of high costs and mixed public reception means this is a deal that will continue to provoke debate.
