Vasco agree deal with Tottenham, Richarlison choice now decisive | OneFootball

Vasco have reached an agreement with Tottenham on a permanent deal for Richarlison, with completion now hinging on the 29-year-old’s decision.

According to PaponaColina, the forward’s camp has dropped any plan to pursue termination in sporting courts, clearing the path for talks and firming up terms between the clubs.

Spurs have approved a structure that defers payments until 2027, with fees spread over 48 months, a schedule designed to protect the Rio club’s budget.

Although the framework is aligned, Richarlison has paused over a four-year contract, having previously expressed a strong desire to play for Vasco but wishing to keep options open for the early-year European window.

To address that, Vasco have offered a broad release clause from the following season, intended to give the striker freedom to accept attractive offers without bureaucratic friction.

The board believe a later sale could cover instalments owed to Tottenham, allowing Richarlison to feature through the closing months of 2026 with minimal immediate cost.

With the green light from London already in place, the final call sits with the player and his representatives, and Vasco await his approval to finalise their headline signing.
