Richarlison could be one of the players Thomas Frank opts to sell at Tottenham Hotspur this summer.
Thomas Frank has previously hailed Richarlison, calling him ‘very good’ back in 2023 after he was tasked with replacing Harry Kane, who’d just joined Bayern Munich.
But now, the Danish manager could well opt to sell the Brazilian, and especially so given the figures being mooted for the attacker.
Spurs fans have also been having their say on the matter, and many would be eager to offload him after learning Daniel Levy’s asking price.
Tottenham fans would jump at the prospect of getting £55m for Richarlison
Tottenham Hotspur fans would sell Richarlison in a heartbeat if Palmeiras were to offer them the fee that their chairman is currently demanding for him.
Levy wants £55m for Richarlison, with Brazilian club Palmeiras trying to convince the forward to return to Brazil this summer.
Palmeiras president Leila Pereira has held talks with the 28-year-old over a move to Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A.
Despite Spurs’ high valuation, the Brazilian club are not being deterred from attempting to do a deal, given their recent financial gain from the Club World Cup.
The Brazilian club are believed to have earned around £29m for their involvement in the tournament, according to BBC Sport.
They could now use those funds, plus what they get from the sale of Richard Rios, to fund their bid to sign Spurs number nine. Tottenham fans have taken to X to share their thoughts on the matter.
One fan hailed the impact of the Club World Cup: “I take back everything I said about the CWC. Brilliant competition.”
Another said: “I would do anything to sell him at that figure, genuinely one of the least reliable players in the squad and is semi-effective at best when healthy.”
There was further disbelief at the figure mentioned: “£55m for Richarlison??? I’ll drive him to the airport myself.”
Finally, another supporter claimed: “Love Richy to pieces, but if this number is remotely true, don’t even hesitate to sell him.”
If there is any chance of the North London club getting that sort of figure for the former Everton striker, they should be accepting it straight away.
The player’s injury record has been quite shocking since he arrived in the capital, having had ten different issues and missed a total of 62 matches since the start of the 2022/23 season.
Richarlison won’t get much game time at Tottenham
Richarlison should be strongly considering a move away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer, considering Spurs’ list of attacking options.
The Lilywhites have just added Mohammed Kudus to the mix and are hoping to also sign Morgan Gibbs-White.
Tottenham are targeting a move for Yoane Wissa, and could move for another attacker if they fail to sign the Brentford forward.
Ahead of the World Cup in the summer of 2026, the Brazilian cannot afford to be playing second choice behind Dominic Solanke.
If he has any hope of becoming Carlo Ancelotti’s number nine next summer, he needs to be playing consistently.
