Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison could be on his way out of North London this summer, with Turkish giants Galatasaray reportedly vying for his signature.
Softfootball earlier reported that Richarlison was ready to leave Tottenham and reset career abroad as Thomas Frank gives green light to transfer exit. This is because the new Spurs manager doesn’t see the 27-year-old Brazilian striker fitting into his tactical plans.
Frank, who replaced former Spurs’ manager Ange Postecoglou, has since been making moves to bring in players which suits his playing philosophy, one of whom is Bryan Mbeumo, who is strongly linked to Manchester United.
Richarlison joined Tottenham from Everton in 2022 for a hefty £50 million fee but has struggled to justify the price tag. In two injury-riddled seasons at the club, the former Fluminense star has managed just 20 goals and 10 assists in 90 appearances.
His inconsistent form under former manager Ange Postecoglou, coupled with persistent fitness issues, has seen him fall down the pecking order. With Frank ushering in a new era at Spurs, Richarlison appears to be surplus to requirements.
Talks of a potential return to Everton were quickly dismissed by manager David Moyes, despite the departure of striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who is now a free transfer target for Manchester United.
Softfootball earlier reported that Galatasaray could turn to Tottenham’s Richarlison as they prepare for life after Victor Osimhen, who may leave Napoli this summer. The Brazilian forward now has a fresh opportunity to revive his top-level career, with the Turkish giants eyeing him as a potential replacement amid growing uncertainty surrounding Osimhen’s future.
