Vasco could land Richarlison via Renan Lodi-style contract termination

Vasco could land Richarlison via a legal route modelled on Renan Lodi’s case, paving the way for a swift move. According to PaponaColina, the 29-year-old and his camp are weighing a unilateral termination of his Tottenham contract.

This option has gathered momentum after talks over a permanent transfer stalled at the figures demanded by the English club. The plan would clear the path to a deal running until December 2026 at São Januário.

The precedent cited is Lodi’s split from Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, which was executed unilaterally after he was left off the domestic competition registration list.

His legal team argued the employer was preventing him from carrying out his profession as a footballer, and the break has sparked a dispute still being considered by the sport’s highest authority.

Richarlison’s side are evaluating whether the same mechanism could be applied to his situation, with Vasco viewed as an immediate destination should the move proceed.
