Fenerbahçe ‘to target’ Tottenham forward Richarlison in January | OneFootball

Fenerbahçe have begun groundwork to sign Tottenham forward Richarlison in the winter window, aiming to exploit his current exclusion from the squad. According to Turkish-Football.com, they have re-established contact with his representatives after summer interest.

The hierarchy are prioritising a mid-season addition in attack, targeting greater dynamism and a direct threat in the final third.

Richarlison’s status has slipped into exile, with the Brazil international omitted from Tottenham’s Premier League registration list.

Potential summer moves to Everton, Vasco da Gama and UAE side Shabab Al Ahli collapsed after disputes and failed talks, leaving him in limbo until January.

Spurs hold an option to extend a deal that runs to the end of this campaign, and prefer a structured exit rather than a mutual termination.

Valued at about €25 million, he can lead the line or operate from the left, matching Fenerbahçe’s recruitment brief.

The club view the 29-year-old as a focal point to complement their current forwards. Seeking regular starts to revive his Brazil prospects, the player is a candidate for whom Fenerbahçe are preparing a financial package to persuade both Spurs and Richarlison when the window opens.
