Tottenham Hotspur may yet see Richarlison’s future take a clearer shape later in the year, with Flamengo still keeping a close eye on the striker from afar.
According to ESPN Brazil, Richarlison remains firmly on Flamengo’s radar. Manager Filipe Luís, the former Chelsea defender, is a big fan of the forward and feels he ticks the right boxes for what the club want in a centre-forward. That admiration has kept the name alive behind the scenes.
Numbers start to match
On Tottenham’s side, the picture is already fairly tidy. As we have covered, Richarlison has an agreement with Spurs to be sold in the middle of the year if the right offer arrives. The price range sits between €25m and €30m, which brings a new wrinkle to the story.
That matters because Flamengo is reportedly holding exactly €30m to invest in a striker. Earlier talk centred on a fixed €25m fee. Now, the figures line up almost perfectly, at least on paper.
Why everyone is waiting
Timing could be key. ESPN suggest Richarlison’s situation may gain real traction after the World Cup, when clubs usually reshuffle plans and budgets. That delay suits the current mood, with no rush from Tottenham and no formal move yet from Flamengo.
For now, the Brazilian club are still in information-gathering mode. Still, the logic is easy to follow. Filipe Luís wants a statement forward. Richarlison remains open-minded, including about a return to Brazil. Tottenham already know the price.
Not just a Brazil-only story for Tottenham player
However, Flamengo is not alone in watching from the sidelines. Richarlison continues to attract interest from clubs abroad, which could complicate things or push the market along.
Nothing is close, nothing is signed. But with the numbers agreed and the timing slowly approaching, this is one situation worth keeping an eye on once the season dust settles.
