Richarlison Excluded From Tottenham Squads After Talks Collapse

Richarlison is pushing for a mutual contract rescission to become a free agent so he could play before year-end if FIFA grants a special authorization.

Overview

Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi said the forward is not registered for the Premier League and confirmed on Monday that Richarlison will not be available for the club in the English League Cup.
Richarlison reposted De Zerbi’s comment on Instagram and publicly asked “Por que?” while formally renewing his request for an amicable contract termination with Tottenham.
The player’s camp says it has paused any unilateral action at FIFA for now and is instead exploring a request to FIFA for special permission that would allow him to sign and play before the next transfer window.
A near-transfer to Vasco fell apart after the clubs agreed financial terms because Richarlison refused a long contract and Tottenham had reached its limit on outgoing loans.
De Zerbi says he offered a contract renewal earlier this season that the player rejected, and Tottenham is keeping him out of selection as it tries to preserve squad stability while the team searches for goals after failing to score in its first four Premier League matches.
