Tottenham Reportedly Hold One‑Year Option That Could Keep Richarlison Until 2028

That unilateral clause gives Spurs greater bargaining power and could slow any transfer while the club weighs a valuation against thin striker cover.

Overview

  • Reports say Tottenham have a unilateral one‑year extension option in Richarlison’s contract that would push his deal to June 2028, a detail attributed to Alasdair Gold of Football.London.
  • A Tottenham insider has been quoted valuing Richarlison at about £40 million while outside estimates such as Transfermarkt put his market value nearer £21 million, creating a wide price gap.
  • Everton are reported to have been in regular contact with Tottenham about re‑signing Richarlison and the player is said to be interested, but no formal bid has been confirmed.
  • With Dominic Solanke carrying a fitness issue, Richarlison is expected to start the upcoming season opener, which reduces Spurs’ incentive to sell before they secure forward reinforcements.
  • Club options like the one reported give teams time to demand fees or delay sales rather than losing a player on a free transfer, and Richarlison’s mixed form and injury history will shape whether Spurs keep or sell him.
