Thiago Silva expresses his desire to see Tottenham player, who 'has a very big future,' join Fluminense | OneFootball

The journey hasn’t been smooth for Tottenham striker Richarlison, whose time in North London has been plagued by injuries and inconsistent form.

Once a standout in the Premier League with Everton, the Brazilian has struggled to replicate that success since joining Spurs.

These challenges have sparked rumours of a potential move away from the club, leaving fans curious about what lies ahead for the 27-year-old.

Richarlison’s situation has caught the attention of clubs beyond Europe. In South America, one familiar name is already extending an invitation.

But could a move back to his home continent be the reset he needs, or does he still have unfinished business in Europe?

Reports have linked Richarlison with a return to Brazil, with Fluminense among the clubs interested in bringing him back.

Former Premier League defender and current Fluminense star Thiago Silva openly expressed his desire to see the Tottenham forward join the Brazilian side.

Speaking via CNN Brasil, Silva stated: "Maybe in the future he could come back. Richarlison has a very big future ahead of him in Europe. Of course, if he decides to come to Fluminense, he’ll be welcome.

He’s going through a difficult time in his career, with injury after injury. But he’s a very good kid. I’m sure it will turn things around and there’s still a lot to do in Europe.”

Silva’s comments reflect support for Richarlison’s potential to overcome his current struggles.

However, the prospect of returning to South America is far from confirmed. At 27, Richarlison is still in his prime and has time to prove himself at the top level in Europe.

Can Richarlison turn things around at Spurs?

The Brazilian’s struggles at Tottenham are undeniable. Injuries have kept him sidelined for much of his tenure, while his performances when fit have failed to meet expectations.

Despite being signed to provide attacking firepower, Richarlison has yet to deliver consistently.

Ange Postecoglou, known for his attacking philosophy, was expected to revitalise Richarlison’s form, but setbacks have persisted.

Fans will remember his impressive stint at Everton, where he proved he could excel in England’s top flight. If luck turns his way, Richarlison could still make an impact at Spurs.

Now, Richarlison stands at a crossroads. Whether he fights to reclaim his form in Europe or opts for a return to Brazil, his next move could define the trajectory of his career.
