Richarlison Confirms Vasco Loan Collapse After Brazil Transfer Deadline
Richarlison has confirmed that his proposed loan move to Vasco da Gama is dead after Brazil’s transfer window shut on Friday.
What we know
- The Tottenham forward wanted to join Vasco on a deal running through to December and says he turned down alternative offers to pursue the move.
- Richarlison told Vasco supporters that Tottenham imposed conditions on the temporary transfer which prevented an agreement.
- The 29-year-old said playing at Vasco remains a personal and family ambition, adding that he hopes to make the move happen in the future.
- He scored 11 Premier League goals for Spurs last season but has been left out of the club’s league squad for the current campaign.
- Richarlison has made one Premier League appearance this term, featuring in the 3-0 opening-weekend defeat at Brentford.
- Omar Marmoush’s arrival from Manchester City has further reduced his route into the Tottenham side.
What happens next
Brazil is no longer an option before the current window closes, leaving Richarlison at Tottenham for now. He has 12 months left on the five-year contract he signed after arriving from Everton in 2022. A January permanent transfer remains possible, while a departure next summer is increasingly expected if no new deal is agreed.
