Valencia are considering options to strengthen their attack in the winter transfer window, exploring the possibility of loaning experienced forwards who are not playing regularly. A press report says Tottenham striker Richarlison is among the names under consideration, alongside Roma loanee Artem Dovbyk and Real Mallorca forward Vedat Muriqi. According to the report, the club are seeking a short-term solution they can afford.
The report said that 29-year-old Richarlison has fallen out of Tottenham's plans: Roberto De Zerbi said in September that the forward was not part of his plans for the season, and the player subsequently missed the team's squads. A loan could give the striker a chance to play regularly, while potentially easing Tottenham's wage commitment.
The cost of a deal could, however, prove an obstacle. Richarlison's contract with Tottenham runs until 30 June 2027, and Valencia would need to agree on each party's share of his wages. The player joined Tottenham from Everton in 2022 for £60 million, according to the source.
The report suggests Richarlison could give Valencia several attacking options, as he can play through the middle or out wide. However, his limited recent involvement means there is no guarantee he would quickly return to his best form. It concluded that the viability of the option would depend on reaching suitable financial terms and Tottenham contributing to the costs.
