Vasco open talks with Tottenham over loan for Richarlison

Vasco have opened talks with Richarlison’s representatives over a loan back to Brazil. According to PaponaColina, the 29-year-old has fallen out with Tottenham’s hierarchy, told head coach Roberto De Zerbi he wants to leave, and has been omitted from the Premier League squad.

The approach follows the collapse of a switch to Trabzonspor in Türkiye, where salary terms were settled but the clubs disagreed on finances before the Turkish window shut. With Europe closed, Richarlison fears inactivity and has told his camp he will consider Brazilian offers to stay match fit.

Signing the Brazil international has long been a priority for president Pedrinho. Earlier efforts were rebuffed by agents insisting on England, but the dynamic has shifted amid Tottenham’s refusal to use him.

Online mobilisation by Vasco supporters has also fuelled the push, given the striker’s childhood affinity with the club. The board moved quickly to capitalise on the strained relationship with the Premier League side.

Richarlison is under contract with Spurs until June 2027 and can sign a pre-contract from the end of next year. He is training alone in Britain while awaiting clarity on his future, and Vasco see his arrival as a chance to lift the first team.

The operation is complex and time sensitive, with Brazil’s registration window closing soon. Vasco are banking on their sporting project and the player’s emotional ties to unlock a loan with the English club.
