A new report has revealed what kind of fee it would take to prise Richarlison away from Tottenham Hotspur in January.
The Brazilian striker started the season impressively, with three goals in his first two Premier League outings, but has gone off the boil since then.
In fact, many will feel that Richarlison is only continuing to start regularly for Tottenham due to the injuries to Dominic Solanke and Randal Kolo Muani.
Over recent days, there have been suggestions that Flamengo are ready to battle Crystal Palace for Richarlison in January, and a new update has now shed light on what Tottenham’s stance on the 28-year-old is.
How much do Tottenham want for Richarlison in January?
A report by journalist Fabrício Lopes has now confirmed that Flamengo are indeed looking to take the Tottenham striker back to Brazil in January.
The reporter claims that the Brazilian giants are looking to bolster their squad with some big-name signings and are looking towards the European market, with Richarlison being one of the names at the top of their wishlist.
Lopes asserts that an offer of around €20m (£17m) would be enough to convince Tottenham to cash in on the former Everton man in January.
That fee is no small matter for Flamengo as it would make Richarlison one of the most expensive signings in the history of Brazilian football if Spurs’ asking price is met.
Why Richarlison may not want to leave Spurs in January
Some sources have suggested that Richarlison may not be keen on leaving the Premier League during the upcoming transfer window.
This is because the striker does not want to jeopardise his chances of making the Selecao squad for next summer’s World Cup.
Besides, it would be difficult for Spurs to find a replacement for the 28-year-old mid-season, which is why a departure next summer seems more likely for Richarlison.
