Richarlison faces squad exclusion at Tottenham amid transfer rumors

Richarlison is currently excluded from Tottenham Hotspur’s 25-man Premier League squad following decisions by manager Roberto De Zerbi. The Brazilian forward is ineligible for domestic league fixtures until the January transfer window reopens.

Reports indicate that the player’s staff may seek a contract termination for just cause, arguing that being omitted from the squad prevents him from performing his professional duties. This follows failed attempts to secure a move to clubs including Vasco da Gama, Trabzonspor, and Shabab Al-Ahli during the summer window.

Tottenham may be willing to accept a nominal fee, potentially as low as £1 million, to offload the player in January to avoid him leaving on a free transfer when his contract expires in 2027. A move to Vasco da Gama has been cited as a likely destination.
