Richarlison's time at Tottenham could be coming to an end. The Brazilian striker is one of several players Spurs are willing to sell this summer as they reshape their squad under new manager Roberto De Zerbi.
Tottenham have been offered the chance to re-sign Randal Kolo Muani after Paris Saint-Germain performed a U-turn on the French forward's future. That move directly impacts Richarlison's place in the squad.
What is the latest on Richarlison's Tottenham future?
According to GIVEMESPORT senior correspondent Ben Jacobs, Richarlison is among the players heavily linked with an exit from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer. Cristian Romero, Luka Vuskovic and Guglielmo Vicario are also in that group.
Spurs need to sell players for financial reasons and to reduce squad size. They've already brought in half-a-dozen new faces, including breaking their transfer record twice to sign Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali.
How does Randal Kolo Muani fit into this?
Kolo Muani spent last season on loan at Tottenham. The €90m (£77m) forward had an underwhelming spell, and Spurs seemed set to pass on a permanent deal.
But PSG have grown frustrated with stalled talks over Kolo Muani's preferred move to Juventus. They've now opened the door for English and German clubs to sign the 27-year-old.
Jacobs confirmed Tottenham are one of the clubs contacted. "PSG have moved from giving preference to Kolo Muani's desired move to opening the door to both English and German suitors," he said.
Why this matters for Richarlison
Tottenham's next transfer priority is boosting their frontline. They want a new left-winger and a new centre-forward — especially if Richarlison does go.
Eli Junior Kroupi of Bournemouth is a confirmed target. Adding Kolo Muani would push Richarlison further down the pecking order, making a sale almost certain.
Spurs only confirmed Premier League survival on the final day of last season. De Zerbi needs a squad capable of climbing the table, and that means making tough calls on players like Richarlison.
What comes next for the Brazilian?
Richarlison joined Tottenham from Everton in 2022 for a fee that could reach £60m. He's scored 15 goals in 76 appearances for the club — a return that hasn't justified the investment.
Several clubs have been linked with the 28-year-old. A summer move would give him a fresh start and allow Tottenham to recoup some of their outlay.
For now, Richarlison remains a Tottenham player. But with PSG pushing Kolo Muani back onto the market, the writing could be on the wall. Spurs have to decide fast — the transfer window won't wait.
