The proposed move for Tottenham forward Richarlison to Brazilian side Vasco da Gama has collapsed. While the clubs had reportedly reached an agreement on a fee for the 29-year-old, the deal fell through due to unresolved issues regarding personal terms.
This setback marks the second failed exit for the striker in recent days, following the breakdown of a proposed £35m deadline-day transfer to Everton for the same reason. Currently, the Brazilian has been omitted from Tottenham's Premier League squad.
With the Brazilian transfer window closing on Friday night, it appears increasingly likely that the player will remain at the London club. The situation is complicated by an ongoing dispute concerning the final nine months of his existing contract, which includes an optional 12-month extension for the club.
I don't know. It's not my job. Roberto De Zerbi
Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi declined to provide a concrete update on the player's future during Friday's news conference, stating only that the club and the player are fully aware of the situation. Richarlison is reportedly exploring his options and is keen to be released from his current deal, though no resolution has been reached.
