Richarlison left off Premier League squad: his exit still possible

Tottenham have left Richarlison out of their Premier League player registration, a move that keeps his future at the club very much in doubt. RMC Sport says that four years after his arrival from Everton for €58m, the Brazil forward had hoped to leave this summer, although a transfer attempt broke down at the end of the window.

Not registered for the league

As reported by the English media this week, the Spurs have decided not to register Richarlison for the Premier League. RMC Sport frames it as a clear internal sign: the club appears open to a separation even after the competition has started.

According to the BBC, as relayed by RMC Sport, an exit remains likely in the next few days. Possible destinations mentioned include markets still active at this stage, such as Turkey or Saudi Arabia.

Tension and words from both sides

The issue has been building for months. After last season’s struggles, Tottenham invested heavily over the summer, though results haven’t matched the spending yet: they began with back-to-back defeats to Brentford (3-0) and Newcastle (2-0).

On the sporting side, Roberto De Zerbi said after the 2-0 loss to Newcastle that the player had said he wanted to leave too many times. Richarlison then replied on social media, asking for “respect” and insisting he would only consider a move if it was also beneficial for Tottenham. In his post, he added that he hoped the club would treat his situation with the same respect he says he has always shown.

With him absent from the Premier registration, the timeline is now short: the next days will tell whether Tottenham can reach an agreement or whether the situation settles for the squad.
