28-year-old Tottenham star privy to summer exit buzz as South American giants circle

Tottenham striker Richarlison is attracting interest from Brazilian duo

Richarlison’s name is once again making waves across both Brazil and Europe. The Tottenham forward, often a polarising figure due to his patchy form is attracting interest from several South American clubs. With a busy summer ahead for Spurs and Thomas Frank’s new management team still evaluating the squad, Richarlison’s future remains uncertain.

Although he is contracted until 2027, questions continue to swirl around his true market value. For the Brazilian, consistent minutes are crucial if he hopes to stay in contention for national team selection, a factor that could lead him to seriously consider offers away from the Premier League.

Palmeiras and Vasco make moves as Spurs consider Richarlison exit`

According to RTI, Palmeiras have already made direct contact with Richarlison’s agent, Giuliano Bertolucci, as the São Paulo club explores the possibility of repatriating one of Brazil’s most charismatic forwards. Meanwhile, Bolavip reports that Vasco da Gama president Pedrinho has personally reached out to Richarlison to gauge his interest. Fluminense and Flamengo are also monitoring the situation closely, while Saudi giants Al Ahli and Al Ittihad remain in the background, ready to table far more lucrative offers.

With growing interest on multiple fronts, Tottenham are aware they possess a player who, while inconsistent, still offers value, particularly in a European context. That’s why Spurs must resist any rush to sell based purely on sentiment or South American nostalgia. Offloading the 28-year-old to a Brazilian club like Palmeiras or Vasco would likely result in a below-market deal. Financially, it makes little sense.

Moreover, with Champions League commitments ahead, Thomas Frank must assess Richarlison during pre-season, especially given the squad’s current lack of attacking depth. The Brazilian still holds appeal for clubs like Galatasaray or teams in Saudi Arabia, who are far better positioned to meet Tottenham’s valuation.
