Tottenham and representatives for Richarlison are actively searching for a new club for the 29-year-old forward in the wake of his failed move to Trabzonspor. TEAMtalk has revealed that the current contenders include Saudi Arabia, Brazil, and Portugal.
Richarlison had agreed personal terms with Trabzonspor and was set to continue his career in Turkey. Notably, Mohamed Salah and Fabinho, both recent signings at the Turkish club, had even reached out to him, encouraging a switch.
However, the transfer could not be finalised before the Turkish window closed. After signing Frankulino Ju, Trabzonspor found themselves lacking space for another foreign player, and they couldn't manage to free up a spot in time.
Now, the Saudi Arabian option is being pursued most vigorously, with the transfer window there remaining open until October. Reports suggest that several local clubs are showing interest in Richarlison, and discussions are already underway.
Representatives for the player have also been assessing potential moves to Brazil and Portugal. For this to proceed, Tottenham would need to either agree to a loan deal or negotiate a solution, especially considering Richarlison has just one year left on his contract.
The situation is further complicated by the fact that Richarlison has not been included in Tottenham's squad for the season and does not feature in Roberto De Zerbi’s plans. Should a new club fail to materialise, the Brazilian might find himself training with the youth teams.
According to TEAMtalk, both Tottenham and Richarlison are keen to avoid such a fate and are looking to resolve the situation before the remaining transfer windows close.
