Overview
- Richarlison has publicly demanded a move back to Everton and wrote on Instagram that he will no longer let others decide his future and that he has faced pressure, threats and retaliation.
- Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi confirmed the forward has asked to leave the club and said the player has repeatedly expressed a desire to go.
- Reporting describes a proposed package that would value Richarlison at about €41 million with Iliman Ndiaye moving the other way at roughly €70 million, but the two clubs have not agreed terms.
- The player remains under contract to Tottenham with one year left and is available to the club, while squad selections and Tottenham's recent transfer activity have increased uncertainty about how the club will proceed.
- Richarlison previously spent 2018–2022 at Everton, where he scored regularly, and the standoff now puts a return to his former club at risk as the teams work to settle the deal before they meet in the league in September.
