Orlando City are showing interest in signing Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison next summer, GIVEMESPORT senior correspondent Fabrizio Romano has revealed.
The Major League Soccer side, led by sporting director Ricardo Moreira, have reportedly held direct talks in London with the Brazil international’s camp in recent days and presented their project.
While no official proposal has been made to the club or the player yet, Orlando have voiced their intentions to sign Richarlison after the season, though they may face a difficult round of negotiations with Tottenham.
The North London side view Richarlison as a key player under Thomas Frank and are unlikely to engage in any transfer talks with Orlando in the near term.
However, the situation could change after the season, when Richarlison enters the final 12 months of his contract with the Premier League side.
Orlando City Eyeing Move for Richarlison
According to Romano, Orlando City have genuine interest in signing Richarlison in 2026, with talks taking place between the two camps in London in recent days:
Richarlison has been an important part of Frank’s squad this term, making 11 appearances in all competitions, scoring three goals and providing one assist in the Premier League.
The Brazil international is Spurs’ top scorer in the competition and has featured in every game so far, making five starts and two substitute appearances.
Richarlison netted a brace in the 3-0 win over Burnley on the opening weekend of the season and also added another goal in the 2-2 draw at Brighton last month.
The £130,000-a-week forward, who joined Spurs from Everton in the summer of 2022, has made 101 appearances for the North London club to date, scoring 23 goals and providing 11 assists.
He also started in the 1-0 win over Manchester United in the Europa League final last term, helping Spurs secure their first major trophy in 17 years.
