Tottenham and Richarlison clash over contract length
Spurs and Richarlison are disputing the nine remaining months of his contract, as talks continue and a free exit is in play.
According to BBC Sport, Tottenham and Richarlison are in a standoff over the nine months left on his contract, after a deadline-day move to Everton broke down.
The report says the 29-year-old is exploring his options, and that sources indicate he wants to be released from the remainder of his deal. Tottenham, however, are not considering walking away for nothing as a realistic route.
Fight over the final stretch
BBC Sport adds that talks between the club and the playerâs representatives are ongoing, but that the issue has escalated in recent days. Complicating the situation is that Spurs hold a 12-month option to extend Richarlisonâs contract through to the end of next season.
Squad status and wider interest
Richarlison has also been left out of Tottenhamâs Premier League squad, following the failed transfer to Everton. BBC Sport notes Spurs had been on course to earn ÂŁ35m, but the deal collapsed because the forward couldnât agree personal terms with the Toffees.
Meanwhile, the outlet reports that Vasco da Gama are keen on signing Richarlison, with the forward thought to be open to returning to his homeland.
