Richarlison's future may lie in Saudi Arabia as Tottenham look to offload the forward in the coming weeks.
It has been a tumultuous week for the former Everton striker, with Spurs' head coach Roberto De Zerbi omitting him from the official 25-man Premier League squad after failing to secure a transfer before the British window closed.
De Zerbi had previously stated that Richarlison had «spoken too many times about his desire to leave», emphasising that the forward could still depart the London club despite the closure of the Premier League transfer window.
In an explosive response, the Brazilian took to social media to post angrily:
«No one will decide my future for me anymore».
Now, Tottenham's hierarchy are exploring options to terminate the player's contract early, which runs until 2027.
Negotiations about a potential return to Everton have stalled, and options in the Turkish Super League evaporated after Turkey's transfer window closed on September 4.
The only realistic avenue for Richarlison’s career appears to be in Saudi Arabia, where the transfer window remains open until October 12. Al-Ittihad has emerged as the leading contender for the Brazilian's signature after Al-Hilal opted to sign Ollie Watkins and Gabriel Martinelli instead.
