The 2024/25 campaign has been up and down for Tottenham, with injuries playing a big part in Ange Postecoglou’s struggles in north London.
Spurs’ backline has been hit hard by fitness issues, with the Premier League giants having to play without their two starting centre-backs, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, for periods of the current season .
Tottenham have also seen some strikers missing in the first half of the season and one star who has been hit hard by injuries is Richarlison.
The Brazilian has been absent for most of the 2024/25 campaign so far, with the 27-year-old playing just 173 minutes in seven matches, providing just one goal and one assist.
Despite having a contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium until 2027, this has thrown doubt over the former Everton star’s future, with reports this week that Fluminense have made Richarlison their main target to strengthen their attack ahead of the January window and have already started contacts with the player regarding a possible return to Brazil.
However, the Spurs striker is ready to reject any approach from the Brazilian club as he hopes to prove himself at Tottenham for the rest of the season, reports report. TNT Sports Brazil.
Should Tottenham sell Richarlison in 2025?
Since moving to Tottenham from Everton in 2022, Richarlison’s signing has been disappointing for the north London club as the Brazilian has failed to deliver.
The 27-year-old has featured in 73 games for Spurs, producing just 16 goals and nine assists. The Premier League club’s board would have expected more and it may be time to cut their losses with the striker.
Newcastle are a club said to be interested in Richarlison and the Magpies won’t be the only club if Tottenham put a reasonable price on the Brazil international.
The Tottenham star can be a top player on his day, but he needs to work on his consistency and stay fit.
