Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly prepared to leave the door open to a January exit for Richarlison.

In July 2022, Spurs committed to paying £60m to win the race for the forward after he was given the green light to leave Everton.

The Brazil international endured a dismal first campaign, contributing just three goals and four assists from 33 outings in the Premier League and Champions League.

Richarlison can claim to have improved under Ange Postecoglou, chipping in with two strikes and three assists from his 12 appearances during 2023-24.

His game time has been impacted by recent groin surgery, but the 26-year-old cannot necessarily claim to be first choice under Postecoglou when fit.

With Spurs already in a position where they are allegedly considering adding another versatile attacker to their ranks in January, there is seemingly little intention to cash in on Richarlison.

Furthermore, he possesses a contract until the end of 2026-27 and is likely to be backed to find his best form over the course of that deal.

Nevertheless, according to 90min, interest from the Saudi Pro League may convince Spurs to adopt a change of stance.

The report claims that a number of clubs from Saudi Arabia are monitoring Richarlison's situation at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and may be prepared to make an approach at the midway point of the campaign.

Chairman Daniel Levy is said to be prepared to contemplate a sale should Spurs receive an offer in the region of £60m at the turn of the year.

While Postecoglou is not keen on losing Richarlison from his squad, there would reportedly be an acceptance that Spurs would not be able to reject such a bid if it materialises.

Spurs already have money to spend in January, helped by Harry Kane's move to Bayern Munich, while they could recoup more funds through cashing in on at least one backup member of the squad.

Another centre-back is also on their radar, a consequence of an injury to Micky van de Ven and the potential exit of Eric Dier should the soon-to-be free agent receive a suitable offer six months prior to the end of his contract. body check tags ::
