Richarlison’s entourage reportedly believe Tottenham are punishing the striker after he rejected a return to Everton during the summer transfer window.
The 29-year-old is now looking for a way out of North London, with Vasco da Gama emerging as his latest option before Brazil’s transfer window closes on September 11.
Journalist Raisa Simplicio reports that Richarlison has given Vasco the green light, but Tottenham’s position could make an agreement difficult.
Everton rejection created Tottenham frustration
Tottenham had hoped to sell Richarlison to Everton late in the window, with the money expected to help finance their move for Iliman Ndiaye.
Richarlison rejected the proposed return to Goodison Park and Ndiaye subsequently joined Manchester City.
According to the report, Spurs were frustrated by that decision. Those close to Richarlison now believe Tottenham’s handling of his situation amounts to retaliation.
That remains the interpretation of the player’s entourage rather than confirmation that Tottenham are deliberately punishing him.
Tottenham also blocked Trabzonspor move
Richarlison had another opportunity after the English window closed when Trabzonspor showed interest.
The Brazilian was reportedly willing to move to Türkiye, but Tottenham rejected the approach. Spurs then left him out of their Premier League squad, leaving him with limited opportunities under Roberto De Zerbi.
That sequence of events has only increased the frustration surrounding his situation.
Vasco push for late Richarlison deal
Vasco now represent a possible solution.
Richarlison is reportedly willing to return to Brazil, but Vasco still need to convince Tottenham to sanction the transfer.
With the Brazilian deadline approaching, time is running out. If no agreement is reached, Richarlison could remain at Tottenham without Premier League football until at least January.
Key Points
- Richarlison’s entourage reportedly believe Tottenham are retaliating after he rejected Everton.

What’s Next?
