Richarlison started the season as a starter but was left out of the team by Roberto De Zerbi. The player considers that the club could not leave him out of the Premier League list and is trying to end the contract to search for a new team before the end of the year. The conversations have been going on for weeks, and the player's staff sees an unlikely agreement with the club at this point.
The only way for Richarlison to play this year is through a rescisão amigável (amicable rescission) or a justa causa (just cause) case. The Premier League allows new inscriptions in January, but the club would have to agree to inscribe him before then. Richarlison's contract with Tottenham expires in June 2027.
Richarlison was criticized by Antonio Conte in 2023 and had a public disagreement with the coach. The player's behavior was criticized by De Zerbi, who left him out of the team. De Zerbi stated that Richarlison will not play even if he is available.
