PA Sport reporter George Sessions says there is a possibility that Real Madrid could make a surprise move for Richarlison next summer.
After struggling to hit the expected heights for his first year and a half at Spurs following his £60m move from Everton, the 26-year-old is now starting to show just why the Lilywhites paid a huge fee for him.
The Brazilian has been in terrific form in front of goal since returning from groin surgery, having found the back of the net five times in his last five Premier League appearances (Opta).
With Son Heung-min away at the Asian Cup with South Korea, Ange Postecoglou will hope that Richarlison can keep his hot streak in front of goal going.
Real Madrid could come knocking for Richarlison
Sessions has now suggested that the striker looks likely to stay beyond next summer unless there is a mammoth offer or if the likes of Real Madrid come in for him.
Interestingly, some Spanish outlets did suggest last summer that Carlo Ancelotti was keen on reuniting with Richarlison at the Santiago Bernabeu (Defensa Central) and Sessions believes that the Los Blancos could try again for the player next summer.
The journalist told The Spurs Chat Podcast: “Unless someone from the Saudi league comes in with a massive bid, or from a romantic side, Real Madrid come in. If Richarlison has a great end to the season and Real Madrid want another Brazilian number nine, that’s always been one that you could maybe see happening.”

If Richarlison maintains his current run of form until the end of the season, I cannot see Tottenham letting him leave. Even if the striker’s head is turned by Real Madrid’s approach, the North London club would likely demand a mammoth fee that will put off the La Liga giants.
