Flamengo has turned its attention to finding a new center forward for the next season, and the name of the moment is Richarlison. Despite this, the Tottenham (ENG) and Brazilian National Team striker prioritizes moving to Saudi Arabia.
In summary, according to ESPN, a member of Richarlison's staff confirmed that Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Flamengo, in case of a return to Brazil, are possibilities. However, Saudi football is the top priority for the Tottenham striker.
Richarlison is at Tottenham but is facing technical and clinical difficulties at the current moment of the season. As a result, the center forward may be sidelined from the Brazilian National Team, which is in the final preparations for the 2026 World Cup.
Carlo Ancelotti, the coach of the Brazilian National Team, has already worked with Richarlison at Everton (ENG) and knows the striker's profile well. Moreover, Brazil lacks players to operate within the penalty area.
In the meantime, Richarlison has reached a verbal agreement with Tottenham to leave the club in June 2026. Additionally, the English team has decided to negotiate the striker for 25 million euros (about R$ 154.5 million).
While trying to sign a striker, Flamengo remains focused on the season's commitments. This Tuesday (10), the Most Beloved faces Vitória in the third round of the Brasileirão. The match takes place at Barradão, in Salvador, starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).
