Behind the scenes: between coming and going, why Richarlison backed down and didn't want Vasco

oglobo11 September 2026 at 23:00

Richarlison's transfer to Vasco did not materialize after the 29-year-old striker changed his mind about playing for the club he supports. The player began the conversations signaling interest, but backed down and preferred to wait, ending the negotiations without a happy ending.

According to reporting, the signing did not advance due to an exclusive decision by Richarlison, and not due to a lack of a common denominator on the financial side between Tottenham and Vasco. The agreement between the clubs was already worked out behind the scenes.

Vasco understood that the player's choice to try to leave Tottenham on a free transfer was a strictly personal and financial matter. Even if he managed to terminate his contract with the English club at that moment, Richarlison indicated that he would not come to Brazil to play until the end of the year.

Richarlison thanked Vasco's invitation and moved on. Now, the striker is trying to part ways with Tottenham to find a new destination, while the saga between the parties comes to an end without an agreement.
