According to a report from TBR, Richarlison is set to hold talks with new manager Thomas Frank as he seeks clarity over his future at the club. The Brazilian international’s future has been up in the air since the end of last season, and the next few days could play a crucial part in where he ends up playing his football next season.
Richarlison made a name for himself while playing for Everton. On the back of his consistent performances, Tottenham forked out a massive fee to add him to their squad in the summer of 2022.
While he was a key figure in the team in the initial years, things haven’t been that great for him of late. Last season, he struggled with multiple injuries and only played a part in 24 matches, racking up less than 1,000 minutes of first-team action.
Reports suggested he wasn’t going to be an important part of Ange Postecoglou’s plans, and the club were ready to sanction his departure. However, a lot has changed in recent weeks as the Australian has been sacked and replaced by Thomas Frank.
The 51-year-old is set to assess his squad over the coming weeks to decide which players he wants to keep and which players he is willing to part ways with. Frank is believed to be an admirer of the Brazilian attacker, and it will be interesting to see if he is ready to give him an opportunity to be an important part of his plans.
Richarlison is looking for clarity, and he will soon sit down with the manager to understand what kind of role he could expect going forward. Spurs are currently pushing hard to sign Mohammed Kudus. While their third bid has also been turned down, they are set to return with another offer in the near future.
If they do sign the Ghanaian international, it could certainly have an impact on Richarlison’s game time. As a result, it will be interesting to see if he is still in the plans of Thomas Frank.
While Everton are keen on re-signing him, Spurs are aware that selling him this summer could prove to be tricky, as not many clubs would be willing to offer a decent fee and meet his wage demands. A move to Saudi Arabia could help their cause, but the player is reluctant to move to the Middle East at this stage of his career.
