Tottenham leave Richarlison out of Premier League squad amid exit talk

Richarlison will not feature in Spurs' top-flight plans this season after the club decided against including him in their squad submission to the Premier League. The exclusion marks a significant development in the forward's future at the North London club.

Manager Roberto De Zerbi addressed the decision publicly, stating that Richarlison had "said too many times he wants to leave". The comments suggest the club has accepted the 27-year-old's wish to seek employment elsewhere, rather than keep him sidelined at the club.

The Brazilian international, who joined Tottenham in July 2022 from Everton for a reported £50 million, has made 67 appearances for the club across all competitions. His departure would free up squad space and wages for De Zerbi's restructuring efforts as the Italian manager seeks to reshape the playing squad in his image.

Richarlison's exclusion follows a period of uncertainty regarding his role at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The move now opens the door for the player to complete a transfer away from the club before the international transfer window closes.
