Richarlison's future at Tottenham Hotspur is under scrutiny again, with Turkish Super Lig giants Trabzonspor the latest club credited with interest in the Brazilian forward.

Agents have relayed the 29-year-old's situation to the Turkish club, who are weighing Tottenham's valuation alongside whether he would consider a move to the Super Lig.

Everton, Richarlison's former club, are also in the picture, adding a rival suitor to a story that is still in its early stages.

The Brazilian is only contracted to the Lilywhites until the end of the 2026-27 season, meaning that Tottenham must weigh up whether to accept a cut-price fee now, try to obtain a menial figure in January or lose their £50m asset for nothing next summer.

The Football Whispers Index scores every transfer rumour across five weighted factors. Read how it works here.

Financial viability11 / 25
  • Trabzonspor's reported annual revenue sits close to €67m, a fraction of the sums involved in a Premier League departure.
  • Richarlison carries a €25m Transfermarkt valuation, with no transfer fee yet reported by either club.

  • Paul Onuachu top-scored in the Super Lig last season with 22 goals in 30 appearances for Trabzonspor.
  • Denis Draguş, Rene Mitongo and Umut Nayir are also listed as senior centre-forward options at the club.
  • Mohamed Salah, signed this August, is also listed across the right wing, second striker and centre-forward slots.
  • Richarlison turns 30 in May 2027, the year after his current Tottenham contract expires.
Player motivation7 / 15
  • Richarlison started Tottenham's only Premier League match so far this season, playing 68 minutes.
  • He made 32 Premier League appearances for Tottenham last season, including 20 starts.
  • Opta rank Tottenham 13th in the world and Trabzonspor 188th.
  • Ekrem Konur reported on 23 August that Trabzonspor are still evaluating whether Richarlison would consider a move to Turkey.
Selling club incentive12 / 20
  • Tottenham are closing in on deals for Omar Marmoush and Savinho this week, adding further options to Roberto De Zerbi's forward line.
  • Tottenham's summer spending is already close to £400m across the transfer window.
  • Tottenham are reportedly holding out for a substantial fee for Richarlison rather than a cut-price exit.
  • Richarlison's contract includes a Tottenham option to extend by a further year beyond June 2027.
Market momentum10 / 20
  • Fanatik first reported Trabzonspor's interest in Richarlison on 23 August 2026.
  • Everton, the attacker's former club, have also been credited with contact over a return for the 29-year-old.
  • No fee, bid or personal-terms report has yet been published by either club.
  • Trabzonspor have also been linked with Borussia Dortmund's Fabio Silva for the same centre-forward role this week.
The verdict39 / 100
Richarlison sits in Unlikely territory here, held back by Trabzonspor's crowded forward line and a rival move from Everton that looks further along.
It happens if Tottenham's asking price softens once the Marmoush and Savinho deals are confirmed and Trabzonspor beat Everton to a concrete opening bid.
It dies if Everton's contact with Tottenham advances first, or if Trabzonspor prioritise Fabio Silva or another forward target instead.
