Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi has revealed a key detail from a conversation he had with Richarlison at the start of the summer.Richarlison has been left out of Tottenham’s Premier League squad, which means that the striker will have to watch from the sidelines for the next few months if he does not leave the club.The Spurs man’s proposed move to Trabzonspor did not go through before the Turkish transfer window shut on Friday evening.That has put the Brazilian in a very difficult position and leaves him with only a few options if he wants to seek an exit from N17.Credit: @thatfootballphotog / InstagramRoberto De Zerbi reveals Richarlison turned down contract extension at TottenhamOn Friday, De Zerbi insisted that Richarlison made all of his decisions by himself, contrary to the striker’s claim that he was being pressured or forced into a move he did not want.The Tottenham boss has now shared that he wanted the 29-year-old to stay at the club, but he refused to commit himself to the project.De Zerbi told Football.London: “You don’t know one important thing. At the beginning of pre-season I spoke to Richarlison and asked him if he wanted to extend his contract because I was happy to keep him with us, and he didn’t want to.“Richarlison is a good player. He was important last season. He’s a good guy, but in the end, I had to stop myself putting pressure on the players if they show me they want to leave. So I’m sorry for him but we have to go to another page and work with Dominic Solanke and Omar Marmoush.”De Zerbi claims Richarlison insisted on leaving without an offerThe Tottenham boss also suggested that the striker’s entourage did not bring any offers to the table even though he had expressed a desire to leave.He also confirmed what is already public knowledge, revealing that a late offer was accepted by Spurs, but the Brazilian did not accept it. According to various reports, that offer reportedly came from Richarlison’s former club, Everton.De Zerbi added: “If a player says ‘I want to leave, I want to leave, I want to leave’, you have to have an offer behind you. Otherwise, what are you doing?“And the right offer for him, I think, arrived after the transfer market closed. We received an offer before the transfer market closed, and he didn’t accept.”READ MORE: Tottenham winger suffers injury scare after just two loan appearancesThe post De Zerbi reveals one Tottenham star turned down a contract extension, but he’s still here appeared first on Spurs Web.
