Richarlison rejected a permanent move to Vasco da Gama, despite the Brazilian club agreeing terms with Tottenham, according to sporting director Admar Lopes.<\/p>\n
Vasco pushed until the final day of the transfer window to bring the 29-year-old forward back to Brazil, but their efforts ultimately failed.<\/p>\n

Lopes revealed that Vasco had made a formal purchase offer for the Tottenham forward and did everything possible to convince him to return.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe tried everything. We genuinely made a purchase offer, but what happened is that the player did not accept the terms of a permanent transfer,\u201d Lopes said (quotes via Sports Mole).<\/p>\n
\u201cWe tried until the last day, everything within our power to convince him, but the player refused and said it was not the right time to return to Brazil.\u201d<\/p>\n
The revelation adds another twist to a dramatic transfer saga involving Richarlison.<\/p>\n
The Brazilian had been looking to leave Tottenham and was also linked with a return to Everton before a late move to Turkish side Trabzonspor failed to materialise.<\/p>\n
With Vasco unable to convince him to return to Brazil, Richarlison ultimately remained in North London after the transfer window closed.<\/p>\n
However, his situation at Tottenham remains extremely difficult.<\/p>\n
Richarlison and Roberto De Zerbi fall out<\/p>\n
The failed departure has compounded an increasingly toxic situation at Tottenham, where Richarlison has been completely frozen out by manager Roberto De Zerbi.<\/p>\n
The friction escalated after Richarlison expressed his clear desire to leave North London during pre-season.<\/p>\n
De Zerbi responded firmly, opting to leave the forward entirely out of Tottenham\u2019s official 25-man Premier League squad.<\/p>\n
The Italian manager further deepened the divide by confirming the Brazilian would not feature even in domestic cup competitions.<\/p>\n
\u201cRicharlison will NOT play even if he\u2019s available. Not even in the Carabao Cup, no,\u201d De Zerbi declared.<\/p>\n
The stance prompted a public response on social media from Richarlison, who questioned his total exile.<\/p>\n
With his return to Brazil turned down and his relationship with De Zerbi broken, the striker faces a long period on the sidelines ahead of the January window.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Richarlison rejected a permanent move to Vasco da Gama, despite the Brazilian club agreeing terms with Tottenham, according…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":620716,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,105],"class_list":["post-620715","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620715","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=620715"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620715\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/620716"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=620715"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=620715"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=620715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
