Tottenham reach verbal agreement to negotiate Richarlison, Flamengo target | OneFootball

Filipe Luís wants to have Richarlison in Flamengo's squad

The board of Flamengo continues its search for a new striker for Filipe Luís' team. Thus, one of Mengão's main targets is Richarlison, forward for Tottenham (ENG) and a name requested by Filipe Luís. The English club has even agreed to negotiate the Brazilian in the middle of the year.

According to information from ‘ESPN’, Richarlison reached a verbal agreement with Tottenham to leave the club in June 2026. Furthermore, the English club has set that they are willing to negotiate the striker for 25 million euros (about R$ 154.5 million).

Does Richarlison want to come to Brazilian football?

Although he is open to talks with Flamengo, Richarlison has two preferred markets to continue his career: Turkey and Saudi Arabia. However, Mengão remains focused on signing the striker and considers the price ‘acceptable’.

What is Richarlison's current situation?

At the moment, Richarlison remains off the pitch recovering from injury. This is because the striker suffered a thigh injury and is undergoing treatment with the English club's Medical Department. Thus, the expectation is that the player will return to the field at the beginning of March.

Has Flamengo tried 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 (KSA). 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 games, scored eight goals, and provided three assists. The striker has been at Tottenham since 2022/23. Adding up his entire spell at the club, he has 28 goals and 12 assists in 121 matches.

Richarlison has a contract with Tottenham until June 2027. This period, in fact, plays in Flamengo's favor, as the English club would be interested in making money from a player who will be close to ending his contract in mid-2026.
