Journalist hints Newcastle would be interested in Spurs star at £40m
According to one journalist, Newcastle United would likely be interested in making a move for one Tottenham Hotspur star, but only if the price drops to a reasonable £40m.
Richarlison’s struggles at Tottenham: Injuries, setbacks, and transfer rumours
Since his high-profile transfer to Tottenham Hotspur from Everton for £60m three summers ago, Richarlison’s time in North London has been anything but smooth.
The Brazilian arrived with high expectations, yet a series of untimely injuries have significantly curtailed his ability to perform consistently, and as a result, he has struggled to leave his mark on Ange Postecoglou’s side.
Although flashes of brilliance have been evident during his sporadic appearances, the forward has been unable to enjoy a sustained run of form due to persistent fitness issues.
This lack of availability has meant Richarlison has often had to watch on from the sidelines. It is perhaps unsurprising, then, that talk of a potential exit has persisted.
Newcastle’s potential move for Richarlison: Journalist reveals details
The latest club reported to be keeping tabs on Richarlison’s situation is Newcastle United. Journalist Ben Jacobs shared intriguing details on NUFC Matters regarding the Magpies’ transfer plans.
He explained that Newcastle could be interested in the Brazilian forward but only under specific financial conditions.
The journalist said: “I think David and Newcastle could be one to watch; there are several clubs tracking him. I have spoken about Richarlison before; that is not a deal that Newcastle could look to do unless the price dropped significantly.
“Last summer, Spurs wanted £60m, but Newcastle would only move for that kind of deal if it was £40m or under or if it is a preferable structure, still one to keep a small eye on.”
Richarlison suggests recent reports are untrue
While Richarlison’s name is being linked with Newcastle, it is important to consider the context surrounding his rumoured departure.
The Brazilian has struggled with injuries and form during his time at Tottenham, but the notion that he is actively seeking an exit appears to be wide of the mark.
In fact, Richarlison himself has publicly dismissed the speculation. After reports suggested that he was angling for a move away from Tottenham, the forward responded to an Instagram post with a facepalming emoji, indicating his frustration with the rumours and reaffirming his commitment to the club.
