It's obvious that Richarlison will never play another minute for the senior Tottenham Hotspur side, even though Spurs could really use their leading goal scorer from the 2025/26 Premier League season. Now, a striker as mediocre as the 2026 version of Richy being their best scoring option is hardly praise of him but rather a reflection of the ineptitude of the Spurs front line, which has been holding back an otherwise brilliant side that has been breaking out and playing great football under Roberto De Zerbi.
Tottenham do not even have Richarilson registered in their first team squad after his falling out with De Zerbi over a failed summer transfer, and their hope is that they can find someone who will take him in the winter despite him having just months left on his deal. Anyone willing to spend any fee would be a dream for Spurs, as they could get his big wages off their books and raise funds to sign the actual striker they need.
Tottenham have to sell Richarlison
Puzzlingly, Tottenham did not sell Richy to Trabzonspor in the Turkish Super Lig last season, but they are still coming back for him in the winter. Via Gary Ward, reports in the Turkish media are circulating that Trabzonspor are prepared to offer Tottenham Hotspur a transfer fee for the player. Spurs are currently asking for 15 million euros and are in active talks with the Turkish giants, who signed Mohamed Salah last summer transfer window, over the Brazilian No. 9.
Honestly, even if Tottenham get a bit less than 15 million euros for Richy, they should take the money and run. It's better than nothing, which is what Spurs are going to get out of the striker if they do not sell him in the winter. And 10 to 15 million euros could help Spurs sign the striker they do want, especially since their dream options are going to be pretty expensive like Eli Junior Kroupi of Bournemouth or current Turkish Super Lig superstar Victor Osimhen from Galatasaray.
Richarlison has definitely run his course at Tottenham, even though Spurs fans knew from last season that he would be a superior option to Dominic Solanke despite Roberto De Zerbi's strange bias towards the English striker. Solanke has been an even bigger flop than anticipated, while Omar Marmoush clearly is not a true No. 9. Spurs need a 9 this winter, and selling Richy can help them get there.
