Richarlison ‘to drop’ legal action as Tottenham seek higher fee from Vasco | OneFootball

Richarlison and his representatives have dropped plans to terminate his Tottenham contract via the courts. The switch leaves Vasco needing an outright purchase, with Spurs seeking a higher fee before the domestic deadline.

O Globo reports that legal advice indicated a European case carried little chance of success and would have kept the striker sidelined for Vasco this season. The player has authorised his camp to focus efforts on a commercial agreement.

Tottenham have told counterparts they want a substantial uplift on the initial proposal. Club executives are insisting on immediate financial compensation and firm guarantees to release the number nine.

Vasco president Pedrinho is assembling a new package with backing from sponsors and investors. The plan would raise the bid and stretch payments into early next year to protect football finances.

With time short in the market, Vasco are preparing revised paperwork for London. The club and supporters believe the forward’s desire to wear the Cruz de Malta could be decisive before the window shuts.
