Exclusive: Sources close to Richarlison reveal truth about Crystal Palace swap rumours
Spurs Web can exclusively reveal what sources close to Richarlison have said about reports of the striker being offered to Crystal Palace and his chances of leaving Tottenham before the end of the month.
At the start of the summer, Richarlison was being backed to leave Tottenham, with a return to Brazil mooted as a possibility for the striker.
However, the centre-forward has started the new season with two outstanding performances against PSG and Burnley, netting an impressive brace against the Clarets.
Thomas Frank has raved about Richarlison’s work rate, holdup play and pressing, but there continue to be rumours linking him with an exit from N17.
Did Tottenham offer Richarlison to Crystal Palace?
A few days ago, it was reported that Tottenham had offered Richarlison to Crystal Palace as a makeweight in a deal for Eberechi Eze.
The outlet claimed that Spurs were ready to move on the former Everton man and replace him with Brentford’s Yoane Wissa.
However, Spurs Web has now spoken with sources close to Richarlison, who have denied that the 28-year-old was ever offered to the Eagles as part of the Eze deal.
We have been informed that the Brazilian international will stay put at the club this summer and that the 28-year-old is fully focused on Tottenham Hotspur and working hard for Thomas Frank.
Rumours of a Richarlison sale are not true
The Crystal Palace rumours were not the first to circulate regarding a potential Richarlison exit. According to a recent update by UOL, Spurs were ready to sell Richarlison for €40m (£34m) at the start of the transfer window.
Clubs from Italy, Saudi Arabia and the Premier League allegedly expressed an interest in signing the Tottenham striker.
However, Richarlison ultimately decided after conversations with trusted advisors that staying at Spurs would give him the best chance of being part of the Brazil squad for next year’s World Cup.
Whatever the case, it appears Richarlison never intended to leave Spurs this summer and remains fully committed to the Thomas Frank project at the start of the 2025/26 campaign.
