Could he fit at Flamengo? Turkey move fails, Richarlison seeks club | OneFootball

Forward made it clear he no longer wants to continue at Tottenham (ENG) and was left off the Premier League registration list

Richarlison made it clear that he no longer wants to play for Tottenham (ENG). As a result, the Turkish transfer window closed without the forward moving to Trabzonspor (TUR). That means the Brazilian was not registered for the Premier League, and the only remaining options are Brazil, Saudi Arabia, and Russia.

What did Richarlison say about his situation at Tottenham?

“I hope they handle my situation with the same respect I have always had for Spurs and for everyone who worked with me during this time. Just don’t try to decide for me,” the Brazilian said in July.

Why did Richarlison play in the first Premier League matchweek?

Richarlison still took the field in the first Premier League matchweek, even with his departure all but sealed. That is because the registration list is only submitted after the transfer window closes, on September 1.

What has Richarlison’s path been in English football?

Richarlison has been in English football since 2017, when Fluminense transferred him to Watford (ENG). The forward then spent four years at Everton (ENG) before joining Tottenham in 2022, bringing him close to a decade in England.

Did Richarlison promise to give Flamengo priority?

In February, according to journalist Gabriel Reis of Paparazzo Rubro-Negro, Richarlison assured Filipe Luís that Flamengo would be his priority. Therefore, that promise would apply if he returned to Brazil after the 2026 World Cup.

However, Filipe Luís is no longer in charge of Flamengo, having already been dismissed in March. As a result, the promise made months ago loses part of its original context, since Leonardo Jardim is now the current coach of Mais Querido.

Does Richarlison face rejection from part of Flamengo’s fanbase?

Richarlison, a former Fluminense player, reacted ironically when he read that Flamengo might have a chance to compete in England. The Brazil national team forward replied to an ESPN tweet about the subject. “Would Flamengo fight for a top-six spot in the Premier League, as Jorge Jesus said?” the post asked, comparing the squads of Rubro-Negro and Everton.

Richarlison then replied with a gif of Italian forward Balotelli spitting out a drink from laughing so hard. The ironic reaction spread among Flamengo fans, who want him far away from Mais Querido.

Richarlison has already declared himself a Vasco supporter

The player has special affection for Fluminense and América-MG, the clubs that developed him. However, he described Vasco as the team closest to his heart. The forward even admitted that he follows the Rio club’s matches in England during the early hours of the morning.
