Tottenham Rejected £16m January Bid to Avoid a £44m Loss
New Report Reveals How Close a Spurs Player Came to Leaving in January and His Stance on His Future Amid Summer Speculation
Injuries have plagued Richarlison’s time at Tottenham Hotspur, preventing him from showcasing his full potential.
Over the past two seasons, the Brazilian striker has struggled to maintain consistency due to recurring fitness issues.
Recent reports suggest that his stint in North London may be nearing its end.
Spurs are reportedly open to selling him for £40 million this summer as part of their ongoing squad rebuild. However, it appears Richarlison has other ideas about his future.
Richarlison’s Future Plans After Rejecting January Move
According to the Daily Mail, Flamengo approached Tottenham in January with an offer to sign Richarlison, either on loan or through a permanent deal worth £16 million.
However, Spurs were only interested in a full transfer and demanded double that amount, making negotiations difficult.
Fluminense also expressed interest in bringing the 26-year-old back to Brazil, but Richarlison was reportedly reluctant to make such a move.
He believes that returning to his homeland would hinder his chances of rejoining a club in Europe’s top five leagues.
The report further states that Richarlison is determined to prove himself at Spurs. He hopes to recover from his injury, finish the season strongly, and demonstrate his worth to the team.
Premier League Interest in Richarlison
Even if Tottenham decide to part ways with Richarlison, he might not have to leave the Premier League.
Last month, reports emerged that Everton are seriously considering re-signing the striker.
The Toffees, who sold Richarlison to Spurs three years ago, still hold him in high regard.
He remains popular among Everton fans and has maintained strong ties with the Merseyside club despite his departure.
With the summer transfer window approaching, Richarlison’s future remains uncertain, but his determination to stay in Europe could play a crucial role in the next phase of his career.
