Tottenham Set Richarlison Asking Price Amid Deadline Speculation
Tottenham have established a clear asking price for Richarlison as uncertainty over the Brazilian forward’s future continues to build ahead of the transfer deadline. According to TEAMtalk, cited by Last Word On Spurs, Spurs are willing to entertain offers for the 29-year-old but will only engage seriously with proposals exceeding £15 million.
The stance underlines the balancing act facing Roberto De Zerbi as he continues reshaping Tottenham’s attacking options. While the club isn’t closed off to changes up front, there’s no appetite to let Richarlison go for a cut-price fee — the hierarchy has set a minimum valuation and won’t open genuine talks until a club is prepared to meet it.
That firmness is partly rooted in what Tottenham originally paid for him. Richarlison arrived from Everton in 2022 in a deal worth roughly £60 million, making him one of the club’s biggest outlays at the time. Despite a spell in North London that hasn’t always gone smoothly, Spurs have no intention of accepting a minimal return on that investment, and the £15 million-plus figure gives them a firm negotiating baseline rather than settling for whatever comes in first.
Richarlison, for his part, has continued to make a case for his value on the pitch. He got on the scoresheet in Spurs’ 3-0 pre-season victory over Hoffenheim, reacting well to convert a chance created by Andy Robertson. Beyond the goal, he’s shown plenty of energy and physical commitment throughout pre-season, pressing well and contributing defensively — qualities that could matter if no suitable offer materialises before the window shuts.
Interest from elsewhere has been reported, with Saudi Pro League clubs and former side Everton both linked. But any interested party now knows where Tottenham stand financially: anything below £15 million is unlikely to move the needle, while a offer comfortably above that mark could force a real decision on whether Richarlison still fits into De Zerbi’s plans, especially with the club also chasing attacking targets like Savinho, Cody Gakpo and Folarin Balogun.
Crucially, though, a sale isn’t a necessity for Tottenham. If nothing matching their valuation arrives, Richarlison could simply remain part of the squad, giving De Zerbi a versatile, experienced forward capable of playing centrally or wide — useful cover across a long, physically demanding season. With the deadline approaching, his situation remains one of the more interesting subplots at the club.
