Richarlison is set to complete a surprise return to Everton, with the forward poised to leave Tottenham Hotspur before the close of the summer transfer window.
According to a report from Read Tottenham dated August 30, 2026, the Brazil international will make the move back to his former club with one year remaining on his current Tottenham contract. The development would bring an end to his time in north London and send him back to a club where he is already well known.
The proposed switch comes as a significant late-window storyline, particularly because of the familiarity between player and club. Everton are understood to be closing in on the deal, while Tottenham are set to sanction an exit rather than enter the final year of the attacker’s agreement without a resolution.
No fee or contract length has been detailed in the supplied report, but the key element is the timing: Richarlison is now expected to move while still under contract at Spurs, rather than wait until the end of the campaign. For Tottenham, the departure would reduce uncertainty around a player whose deal is nearing its final 12 months.
For Everton, the return would represent a notable attacking addition and a high-profile reunion. The move has been described as a shock because Richarlison’s next step had remained a point of interest during the window, and a comeback to Goodison Park now appears to be the outcome.
With the transfer expected to be completed, attention will turn to the formal confirmation from the clubs and the details of the agreement once the paperwork is finalised.
