The Brazilian's situation has worsened after being left out of the 25-man squad for the Premier League by manager Roberto De Zerbi. Advocates for Richarlison are studying the possibility of using Article 15 of the FIFA regulations, which stipulates that a player must have participated in less than 10% of the club's matches during the season to be eligible. Richarlison started only one of the first four matches of the season for Tottenham, which is being analysed by his lawyers to determine if the rule can be applied. The Brazilian's contract with Tottenham expires in the summer, with the club holding an option to extend it.
