Tottenham Hotspur have left Richarlison out of their Premier League squad, further fuelling speculation that the Brazilian forward’s time at the club could be coming to an end.
The decision comes after Richarlison was unable to secure a move away from Tottenham before the Premier League transfer deadline. The 29-year-old had been linked with a return to former club Everton, but the proposed deal failed to materialise.
Richarlison was Tottenham’s top scorer last season, finishing the campaign with 12 goals. However, his future under manager Roberto De Zerbi has remained uncertain, with the forward reportedly no longer considered a key part of the manager’s plans.
Despite being excluded from the Premier League squad, Richarlison could still have an opportunity to leave Tottenham. Turkish clubs can continue to complete transfers after the Premier League window closes, with Trabzonspor reportedly interested in signing the former Everton striker.
Richarlison joined Tottenham from Everton in 2022 but has struggled to consistently reproduce his best form in North London, partly due to injuries and competition for places. His latest omission could now represent another major step towards an eventual departure.
What is next for Richarlison?
Tottenham will hope to resolve the situation as soon as possible, while Richarlison faces an uncertain period away from Premier League action. Whether he remains at Spurs or secures a move to Turkey could determine the next chapter of his career as the Turkish transfer window is still open.
