Tottenham Hotspur are prepared to foot the bill for keeping Richarlison until January, but they will save some money due to Roberto De Zerbi’s decision.De Zerbi has made it clear that Richarlison is not part of his plans, with the striker not even part of Tottenham’s matchday squad against Liverpool on Tuesday despite being eligible to play in the Carabao Cup.The 29-year-old rejected a move to Vasco da Gama on Brazilian transfer deadline day last week, which means that he now faces the prospect of not playing any football until January.According to reports, Richarlison turned down Vasco despite the club offering him a route back to Europe in January and being ready to pay him a sizable salary.Credit: @thatfootballphotog / InstagramTottenham will pay Richarlison’s wages but will save on his bonusesAccording to Brazilian outlet UOL (as relayed by Sport Witness), Spurs are willing to keep Richarlison around until January even if it means paying his salary for another three and a half months.The report reveals that the striker earns £4.7m per year in basic wages, which means Spurs will pay him around £1.6m until the end of the year.However, the Lilywhites will still save a lot of money after De Zerbi decided to leave the former Everton man out of the Premier League squad.This is because Richarlison’s contract contains £2.1m in performance-related bonuses, which the striker is not going to collect if he does not play.A move to the Middle East still on the cards for RicharlisonAn exit route from Tottenham may still be open for the centre-forward before the end of the month.This is according to TEAMtalk, who claimed that Dubai-based club Shabab Al-Ahli are exploring a late move for Richarlison, with clubs from the UAE allowed to sign players until September 28.The report suggested that the striker could be open to a move to the club, who are managed by his former Brazil U23s boss Andre Jardine, but any deal would depend on the UAE side reaching an agreement with Spurs.READ MORE: ‘I can’t bear to watch them anymore’ – Van den Vaart slams ‘truly awful’ TottenhamThe post Tottenham could save some money despite footing £1.6m Richarlison bill appeared first on Spurs Web.
