Vasco da Gama manager Pedro Emanuel was coy when asked about the rumoured links to Tottenham outcast Richarlison, with an offer reportedly made by the Brazilian club.
Richarlison’s future remains a source of concern at Tottenham, as recent developments suggest the club are willing to part ways with the attacker. There have been plenty of movements over the summer, including a double deal that Spurs agreed with Everton, which would have seen the Brazilian join the Toffees, with Iliman Ndiaye moving the other way.
While Ndiaye ended up joining Manchester City, Richarlison snubbed the move to Everton and has remained at Tottenham. There is still a window of opportunity for a transfer, as he remains linked with Saudi Arabian clubs, whose transfer window is open for a considerable period.
There were reports linking Richarlison with Trabzonspor, but the move collapsed after Spurs rejected an offer. However, there have been no developments in the background as far as the Brazilian is concerned, although recent links have emerged involving Brazilian side Vasco da Gama.
Pedro Emanuel coy on Richarlison links
Despite reports stating Richarlison is not keen to join Vasco da Gama, there appears to be some truth to the claims, as the club are reportedly interested in the attacker. Spurs, who signed the Brazilian in a £60 million deal from Everton in 2022, are now in a position where they must either sell him or risk letting his contract run down. However, they could demand a significant fee.
Vasco da Gama manager Pedro Emanuel was recently asked about the links to Richarlison but remained coy on the situation. His comments, as reported by TEAMtalk, did not indicate anything regarding the £60 million Tottenham star, although there could be further developments in the background.
Pedro Emanuel said, “I think my silence says it all. I work with the players who are here. He is a player I respect greatly, a player everyone knows, but he isn’t here, and I don’t feel I have the right to comment on something that isn’t part of our day-to-day lives or my reality. I’m sorry I can’t answer, but that’s all I can say at the moment.”
Meanwhile, a report in O Globo indicated that Vasco da Gama have reportedly made an offer for Tottenham’s consideration. The attacker has not made his preference clear, as he may still have options with the Saudi Arabian transfer window open, but a return to Brazil has not been ruled out just yet.
As for the offer from Vasco da Gama, the club are waiting for Spurs’ approval, and their response to the proposal will probably determine the next steps.
