Tottenham make Richarlison decision as direct talks held over January transfer

Tottenham ace Richarlison is the subject of interest from clubs in Brazil ahead of the January transfer window, according to TNT Sports Brasil.

The broadcasters reported via their website (21 December) that Vasco da Gama president Pedrinho directly called the striker to discuss a transfer.

Vasco are keen to acquire the 27-year-old’s services on loan in January, but talks over a deal did not progress further after Spurs made it clear that he is in their plans for the season, contrary to previous reports in the media.

However, the situation could change at the end of the season, as per TNT reporter Aline Nastari, who also detailed Fluminense’s interest in Richarlison via her personal X account (20 December).

However, the transfer has not gone according to plan, with the former Watford hitman only having 16 goals to show for his time there so far.

Richarlison, who has found the back of the net just once this season, has already missed 19 games across all competitions this term due to injury.

There was hope that he would be the one to take the baton from Harry Kane when he left for Bayern Munich last year, but that has been far from reality.

Richarlison will have two years remaining on his contract come the end of the season and it would make sense for Spurs to cut their losses on him by sanctioning a traffic.

However, Brazilian clubs are unlikely to be able to shell out a significant amount of money to sign him.

Levy will, therefore, be hoping that the forward is the subject of interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League.

In other Tottenham news, Levy has given the green light for Postecoglou to complete this £20million signing.
