An offer has now come in for Tottenham striker Richarlison, with an exit on the cards for the Brazilian this summer, according to reports.
His future at Spurs is back under the spotlight after an encouraging 2025/26 campaign reminded everyone exactly what the Brazil international can offer when fully fit.
The forward enjoyed one of his strongest seasons in a Spurs shirt, bouncing back from previous injury frustrations to become an important attacking option.
Richarlison made an explosive start to the Premier League season, scoring twice in Tottenham’s opening-day victory over Burnley, including a spectacular overhead kick that immediately put him among the division’s early standout performers.
He followed that by creating Brennan Johnson’s goal in an impressive win away at City before continuing to chip in with important goals and assists throughout the campaign to help Spurs’ fight against the drop.

This included a vital header at Villa Park to help Tottenham clinch a 2-1 win over Unai Emery’s side, with their victory in the Midlands playing a key role in keeping Spurs afloat.
While he was not always a guaranteed starter, Richarlison regularly contributed to the cause with his undeniable work rate and willingness to battle for every ball.
He also ended 25/26 with 12 goals and five assists, his best ever return for the club.

Despite that mini-resurgence, speculation over his future refuses to disappear.
Tottenham striker Richarlison gets ‘official offer’ from the Süper Lig
According to respected Turkish reporter Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, a ‘big club’ from the Süper Lig has now submitted an ‘official offer’ to the Tottenham forward.
The identity of the club has not been disclosed, but Sabuncuoglu suggests genuine interest has now moved beyond simple enquiries.

Credibility |
Yağız Sabuncuoğlu is widely regarded as one of Turkey’s most reliable football journalists, particularly for transfer news involving Süper Lig clubs. He has built strong contacts within Turkish football and has accurately reported numerous major deals. His exclusives are generally respected, although international stories sometimes require additional confirmation. |
|
Finances |
Selling Richarlison would free up one of Tottenham’s higher salaries while generating a healthy transfer fee to reinvest elsewhere. With Spurs already refreshing their squad, the funds could help finance younger signings and improve Financial Fair Play flexibility, particularly if De Zerbi believes existing or even new attacking options can cover his departure. |
|
Insight |
Richarlison rose from Brazil’s lower leagues to earn Premier League moves with Watford, Everton and Tottenham through relentless work and versatility. A Copa América winner, Olympic gold medallist and World Cup star, he has repeatedly delivered in big moments while overcoming injuries and personal setbacks. As much as inconsistency has often plagued Richarlison’s Spurs career, nobody can knock his effort. |
|
Impact |
Richarlison’s departure would alter Tottenham’s attacking depth, removing an experienced forward capable of playing across the front line. His pressing, physicality and aerial presence offer qualities others in the squad cannot easily replicate. So, if the Brazilian does leave, it is likely De Zerbi will be planning to sign a replacement. |
Any approach represents another significant decision for Tottenham.
Should Spurs should keep Richarlison?
Richarlison remains an experienced Premier League attacker with proven quality at both club and international level.
However, Spurs have strengthened their squad considerably during this transfer window and continue reshaping the squad under De Zerbi.
The Brazilian also turns 30 next year and is out of contract at the end of next season, meaning this summer could represent one of the final opportunities for Tottenham to secure a sizeable transfer fee should they decide to cash in.
Equally, keeping him has obvious benefits.
Richarlison brings aggression, intensity and leadership to Tottenham’s front line. Few forwards press defenders as willingly, while his aerial ability offers a different option compared to the club’s other attackers.
Whether Tottenham seriously consider any proposal will almost certainly depend on both the size of the offer and De Zerbi’s long-term plans.
Letting Richarlison leave would be understandable if Tottenham receive an outstanding financial package, particularly after investing heavily elsewhere.
However, purely from a football perspective, De Zerbi should consider keeping him.
The striker’s 25/26 performances showed he can still influence big matches, and every successful squad needs experienced players capable of changing games from the bench.
