Saudi side Al-Hilal plan shock transfer swoop for Tottenham star who could have already played final game for the club
AL-HILAL are reportedly planning a shock transfer swoop for Richarlison.
The Saudi side were previously linked with the Tottenham forward back in January.
Richarlison may have already played his final match for the club as Ange Postecoglou plans a summer overhaul of his squad.
The Brazilian is not expected to play again this season due to a calf injury.
He was left out of Brazil’s squad for the Copa America as a result of the setback.
According to the Daily Mail, Richarlison could secure a move away from North London this summer.
Al-Hilal are planning a move after previously making enquiries in January following Neymar’s season-ending knee injury.
They are yet to make a formal approach, though, but are confident a deal can be completed, the report adds.
Richarlison’s calf injury follows knee and groin issues earlier this season which have caused him to miss almost two months of the campaign already.
The 27-year-old is now unlikely to feature in Spurs’ final three matches this term.

Postecoglou’s side face clashes against Burnley, Manchester City and Sheffield United as they look to keep their feint top four hopes alive.
Spurs currently trail Aston Villa by seven points in the race to secure the final Champions League berth.
Richarlison, who signed for Spurs from Everton in 2022, has three years remaining on his current contract.
The forward has scored 11 goals and provided four assists in 28 league appearances this term.
Club captain Son Heung-min is the only player to score more for the club during Postecoglou’s first season in charge.
Richarlison’s tally includes a goal and assist off the bench in last weekend’s defeat at Liverpool.
