The deal is done
Richarlison’s move to Trabzonspor is agreed. The Brazilian has accepted a package worth roughly three times his Tottenham salary, and the Turkish club get a proven Premier League striker at a stage of his career where his market value has only one direction left to travel.
For Tottenham, this is textbook asset management. Richarlison is 28, his contract expires in 2027 with just nine months of real leverage remaining, and his profile sits on our sell signal board this week.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| OVR | 81 |
| Age | 28 |
| Position | ST |
| Market value | €22.5M – €27.5M |
| UV score | 22 (overvalued) |
| Deal score | 59 |
| Contract | 2027 (9 months left) |
Why the model says sell
A UV score of 22 means the market still prices Richarlison close to his peak output years, while the underlying age curve says those years are ending. Combine that with the expiring contract and the deal score drops to 59, the range where holding on costs more than it returns.
Tottenham faced a familiar choice this summer: renew a 28-year-old striker on higher wages, or sell while a club is willing to pay. Trabzonspor’s aggressive salary offer solved the problem for them.
What Trabzonspor are buying
Still a genuine Premier League-caliber finisher. Twelve goals and five assists last season at a Tottenham side that rarely built around him, an 81 OVR that would make him the best striker in the Turkish league on paper, and physicality that suits the Super Lig.
AI Verdict: Sell
For Tottenham supporters, this should not sting. The model’s sell verdict was registered before the move was agreed, and the club acted on the same logic. For Trabzonspor, the verdict is different: a striker who still produces at a high level, available at a discount because of contract timing rather than ability. Both clubs are playing the market correctly.
