Following a failed move to Turkey, Tottenham forward Richarlison has now given the green light to a move back to South America.Richarlison’s future at Tottenham Hotspur has been up in the air since his failed move during the summer transfer window.On deadline day in England, Spurs looked to sign Iliman Ndiaye – a deal that was expected to see Richarlison head the other way – but the Brazil international opted against a return to Merseyside. However, that was not the only interest shown in Richarlison this summer, with Turkish side Trabzonspor also keen on signing the forward.Reports even claimed that the Turkish outfit were prepared to triple Richarlison’s wages, but again no move materialised.Credit: @thatfootballphotog / InstagramRicharlison gives “OK” to Vasco amid Tottenham frustrationRoberto De Zerbi has since stated that nothing is going to change from his end in his dealings with Richarlison, after the Spurs boss revealed the striker asked to leave the club this summer. However, a move away from Spurs remains firmly on the cards, with journalist Raisa Simplicio revealing that there is interest in Richarlison from Brazil.According to the journalist, Richarlison is understood to have given the green light to a move to Vasco. Writing on X, she tweeted: “Richarlison gave the ‘OK’ to Vasco for a return to Brazilian football by December of this year. The scenario is still considered difficult due to Tottenham.“The English club got irritated with the striker for turning down an offer from Everton. Tottenham was counting on that sale to sign a player who ended up going to City.“Richarlison even received an offer from Turkey, but Tottenham refused and did not register the player in the Premier League.“People close to Richarlison believe the player is suffering a kind of retaliation for not agreeing to transfer to Everton under the terms presented.“The transfer window in Brazilian football closes on September 11. Vasco will need skill to convince the English or find another alternative. The info on Vasco’s pursuit of Richarlison was initially given by the friend and star.”Richarlison deu “OK”’ para o Vasco para um retorno ao futebol brasileiro até dezembro desse ano. O cenário ainda é considerado difícil por conta do Tottenham. O clube inglês ficou irritado com o atacante por ter recusado uma oferta do Everton. O Tottenham contava com essa venda… pic.twitter.com/bcB1bobA4p— Raisa Simplicio (@simpraisa) September 8, 2026Criticism grows as Richarlison stays at SpursRicharlison’s decision not to move away from Tottenham has brought criticism from former player Gabby Agbonlahor. The former Aston Villa man described Richarlison as “a prat” and “a big idiot” following his decision to remain in north London.Agbonlahor said: “Let’s be honest about Richarlison. Listen, I never like to come on here and absolutely slaughter players, but there are words that I cannot use to describe him on air, but I will try and use the words that you are allowed to say.“He is a prat, an absolute idiot. Let’s be honest. Whenever I have watched him, he is not quick in behind; he cannot hold the ball up. Can he score the odd goal? Yes, he can, but his theatrics, his jumping up and down – his attitude stinks; his arrogance as well.“For someone who has scored 75 Premier League goals in 276 appearances, he acts like he is that main guy. There is a reason why Carlo Ancelotti never picked him for the World Cup.“He is not a good striker and I am hearing reports that he is getting three times the money at Trabzonspor than he was at Spurs.“That is why he did not want to go back to Everton, because he knew there was more money available. I just do not see it – only 32 goals in 134 appearances for Spurs. Spurs fans will be thinking, bye‑bye.”The Brazilian does have a single year left on his contract, and the hope for Spurs would be to cash in on him before his deal expires.READ MORE: Tottenham fans will not believe who Serge Aurier is about to sign forThe post Richarlison may have finally found a late transfer, but Tottenham will have to agree appeared first on Spurs Web.
