Journalist warns Flamengo about Richarlison: "He just can't manage..." | OneFootball

Flamengo is interested in signing Richarlison, Tottenham (ENG) striker

The board of Flamengo continues its search for a new center forward for Filipe Luís’s team. Thus, the player requested by the red-black coach is Richarlison, currently at Tottenham (ENG). Journalist from ‘TNT Sports’ and specializing in English football, Fred Caldeira issued a warning about the Brazilian’s physical condition.

— Richarlison, it’s very unlikely that he’ll stay at Tottenham for next season. Richarlison can’t maintain physical consistency, folks — he said, before concluding:

— Unfortunately, it didn’t work out at Tottenham. So I imagine the club is already looking at Richarlison as someone who could attract an interesting offer in the next transfer window — Fred Caldeira concluded during the ‘TNT Sports’ program.

Did Flamengo try to sign other strikers?

Yes! In January 2026, Flamengo made an offer to sign Kaio Jorge, but did not reach a financial agreement with Cruzeiro. In addition, Mengão tried to bring in Darwin Núñez, currently at Al Hilal (SAU). However, the former Liverpool (ENG) striker does not wish to come to Brazil.

What are Richarlison’s numbers at Tottenham?

In the 2025/26 season, Richarlison has played 31 matches, scored eight goals, and provided three assists. The striker has been at Tottenham since the 2022/23 season. Adding up his entire stint at the club, he has 28 goals and 12 assists in 121 matches.

Richarlison is under contract with Tottenham until June 2027. This period, in fact, works in favor of Flamengo, which would benefit from the English club’s interest in making money from a player whose contract will be close to ending in mid-2026.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Meanwhile, Flamengo returns to the field this Saturday (07) to face Sampaio Corrêa, for the sixth round of the Campeonato Carioca. The match kicks off at 9:00 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. It’s worth noting that Rubro-Negro is in a delicate situation in the State Championship.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Sampaio Corrêa through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, GE TV (YouTube), SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Carioca match.
