Tottenham star Richarlison faces an uncertain future if a new striker joins before the 30 August deadline, sources have told Football Insider.
The 27-year-old insists he is happy at Spurs and has no intention of leaving before the window closes.
However, Tottenham are actively seeking a new forward, and sources indicate there will be “huge question marks” about Richarlison if they succeed.
The Brazil international has been linked with Saudi Pro League clubs, and interest is believed to remain as the transfer window nears its end.
Spurs aim to overhaul their striking options before the deadline.
Football Insider reported on Monday (5 August) that Ange Postecoglou’s side have contacted Bournemouth about a potential deal for Dominic Solanke.
The 26-year-old is reportedly eager to move to Tottenham and has a £65 million release clause.
Richarlison’s Tottenham career is at risk following Solanke’s approach. The interest in the England international comes after he scored 21 goals and provided four assists in the 2023-24 season, his best-ever Premier League performance.
Meanwhile, Richarlison scored 12 goals last season and was in and out of the Spurs lineup due to injuries.
The former Everton star, who cost a reported £60 million two years ago, scored just three goals in his first season at Tottenham. He is under contract with the Lilywhites until June 2027.
Postecoglou’s team will begin the 2024-25 campaign against Leicester City on 19 August.
In other news, Spurs have canceled plans to sign a forward.
