Savinho says Richarlison wants Vasco switch | OneFootball

Savinho, Richarlison’s Tottenham team-mate, said in a social media post that the forward wants to join Vasco.

Vasco have contacted Richarlison’s representatives to assess his situation and whether he would consider a return to Brazilian football now. The club are exploring a loan.

Savinho’s remark was left beneath a post by Atlético-MG supporters amid noise around their interest. He added that he had told Richarlison to choose Atlético-MG instead.

Richarlison has previously said he is a Vasco fan, which has energised supporters online. Club figure Pedrinho admires him and had sounded out a loan in recent seasons, but was told he would stay at Tottenham.

The landscape has shifted. With most transfer windows closed and Tottenham indicating Richarlison is not in their plans, his camp no longer dismisses a return to Brazil.

The Brazilian has fallen out with the club after informing the Spurs hierarchy and head coach De Zerbi that he wanted to go. He is not registered for the Premier League and is not in the plans for the remainder of the season.
