Tottenham are ready to listen to offers for 11 first-team players, including Richarlison and Emerson Royal, as Ange Postecoglou prepares for a major overhaul of his squad this summer.
Postecoglou joined Spurs from Celtic in June 2023 and led them to a fifth-placed finish in his first full season, securing a place in the Europa League. They had started the season superbly and were on course to finish in at least the Champions League at one point, but a drop off in the second half of the campaign saw them fall out of the top four and finish behind Aston Villa, Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal.
In a bid to return to Europe’s elite club competition, Postecoglou is plotting a huge shake up of his senior squad with several players up for sale. Tottenham sold Harry Kane and Harry Winks and let go another eight either on loan or in a permanent deal last summer and that number could rise this time around.
According to the Evening Standard, Richarlison is someone Spurs are open to selling as part of their ruthless overhaul. This is despite his insistence that he will not leave England after the forward dismissed suggestions he is in talks with other clubs and claimed he has never said he is unhappy in north London.

Richarlison is one of the players Spurs are prepared to sell for the right price, two years since his £60million move from Everton. He has attracted interest from more than one Saudi Pro League club, having scored 12 goals and added a further four assists in 31 appearances last season.
Spurs are also willing to sell Emerson Royal, who has attracted interest from AC Milan and a number of Saudi Arabian clubs. His agent met with Milan officials this week, though the right-back was not the only player discussed. The Brazilian has started just 11 Premier League matches this season.
Richarlison
Richarlison could leave Tottenham this summer.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Giovani Lo Celso are both about to enter into the final year of their contracts and could be set to move on along with Bryan Gil. Meanwhile, loanees Joe Rodon, Djed Spence, Sergio Reguilon, Tanguy Ndombele and Japhet Tanganga are not in Postecoglou’s plans and are available for transfer.
Manor Soloman has endured a difficult first season at Tottenham but Spurs are set to listen to offers for him, while Ryan Sessegnon is out of contract and expected to leave following an injury-hit season.
Postecoglou is hoping to keep midfield duo Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma and it would take a mammoth offer for Spurs to consider selling either player. Spurs have already boosted their squad with the arrivals of Timo Werner, who has re-joined on loan for another season, and Lucas Bergvall.
