Tottenham board “will now consider” selling star with “huge money on offer”
The Tottenham hierarchy is making a U-turn behind closed doors, and they could now sell one star for a large sum of money in January.
Spurs players who could leave in 2024
Since experiencing their first Premier League loss of the season around this time last month, manager Ange Postecoglou has had to cope with a multitude of injury and suspension issues.
Spurs lost both James Maddison and Micky van de Ven to long-term injuries during their 4-1 loss to Chelsea at the beginning of November. Other players who are currently out of the picture include Manor Solomon, Ivan Perisic, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Eric Dier.
“Unlikely” is his response to Tottenham’s offer.
Compared to their early-season success, the Lilywhites have lost four of their last five top-flight games and have not won since late October.
The lack of key players has been a genuine contributing element to Tottenham’s downward trajectory, yet even with their small roster, some players could leave in January.
Rumour has it that Dier may make an unexpected move to Bayern Munich, and speculations suggest that Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg may be permitted to leave Spurs permanently.
Tottenham board “will consider” Richarlison sale
Football Insider claims that Spurs have now decided to consider bids for the Brazilian from Saudi Arabia after previously refusing to consider them.
With “huge money on offer” from Saudi Arabia, it is thought that the Tottenham board “will now consider selling” Richarlison. The 26-year-old, who Spurs acquired from Everton for over £60 million last year, is starting to grow on the management team.
The club’s executives think they can make much-needed reinforcements and supplement Postecoglou’s transfer budget for the winter window with the possible Richarlison fee.
The north Londoners, who were previously prepared to turn down any proposals for the forward, have now made what is known as a “U-turn” on his future.
Football Insider was informed by a reliable source that Richarlison’s move to the Spurs “hasn’t worked out for all parties”.
Richarlison’s form for Spurs this season
Postecoglou is gradually reintegrating the South American into the group after he recovered from surgery on his pubic bone.
Richarlison has scored once and provided three assists in his 12 league games this season. However, his best performances may have been during Spurs’ 2-1 victory against Sheffield United early in the campaign.

After the former Watford player scored and provided an assist in the last moments to give Spurs the victory and pull off a stunning comeback, Postecoglou praised Richarlison at a press conference.
Postecoglou stated about Richarlison, “We’ve got to maintain a balance in life and even for him” (via TEAMtalk).
“He must realise that, like so many of us, he still has a lot to give and that, as a great football player, his football career is far from over. This will help relieve some of the pressure he’s carrying in other areas of his life.
“I’m quite happy for him; I felt he performed admirably. He’s usually dangerous in the air, so it was clear that we were trying to score and get some balls in the box.
