Tottenham player sparks FIFA war with Spurs - RDZ decision prompts formal step
Tottenham Hotspur's Richarlison is ready to take FIFA action to end his time with the Premier League side immediately.
Canal do Pedrosa took to X to share an update from journalist Lucas Pedrosa. He says Vasco da Gama were optimistic about closing the transfer after a meeting on Wednesday. The two clubs were close to an agreement before the player decided to unilaterally terminate his contract.
His decision came as a surprise to the Brazilian club. This could now end up ‘derailing the negotiations’ because Spurs have no intention of letting him leave for free. He states: ‘Spurs feels legally protected and believes it has provided the Brazilian forward with the necessary working conditions. Another point the reporter heard from lawyers involved in the deal was that the chance of Richarlison securing a contract termination under these terms is ‘very slim,’ which would make the forward’s arrival unfeasible.’
For now, Spurs haven’t rejected the offer while Vasco, who aren’t in favour of contract termination, didn’t withdraw their interest. However, the negotiations have stalled. Pedrosa ends his report by stating: ‘Today, despite the request to terminate his contract, sources involved in the deal believe that the outcome is largely in the hands of the Brazilian forward, since it would make no difference whether he joins Vasco as a free agent or is sold at this point. The saga, which seemed to be heading toward a happy ending, promises to unfold new chapters over the next two days. The Brazilian transfer window closes on September 11.’

According to this they're talking about going to court
Had to be BS?
I read that under an agreement between FIFA and FIFPRO, the global players union, forcing players to train alone or with the 'reserves' can be justification to terminate a contract but possibly with the compensation due for the remaining period of it. That would mean that Richy could walk away without a transfer fee but demand for the remainder of his contract to be paid up. However, if he was training with the first team yesterday then it may well be BS.
But honestly, what a fudging mess this has been. I expect Richy hasn't helped but I think the club has handled the situation very badly too.

Yeh I read a while back that is now banned, clubs are not supposed to be able to do it
The clubs followed RDZ wishes and thats absolutely fine, he is the footballing leader, its what everyone wants/wanted, but there is always downside to such idealistic views on football and which footballers you like or don't. This could have been handled waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better

Sounds like it's just bartering going on. I'm sure he'll be at VdG tomorrow.
If they can't pay the fee we want, there might be a creative solution like Johnny Cardoso, where we just have a sell-on inserted on their most valuable young player

I will say, as much as I’ve been happy with our owners m, VV and the strategy around the market this summer, I do want more of an explanation as to how they’ve let this Richy thing happen,
I get backing RDZ, and I get sending a message to all players that we aren’t to be messed with. And I do think Richy has behaved in a bit of a strange way. I guess I just hope we aren’t actually exposed on the contract termination point, because that would be a massive oversight,

He played against Brentford and was taken to Oz, from the outside it looks confused as fcuk

And still got issued the number 9 shirt.
It’s a clustetfudge.
One of many in the summer imo. Others may disagree.

My particular sourness is that Richy clearly isn't a bad egg. He's always been someone that has given his heart and body for us. He also seems a potentially vulnerable individual who needs a bit of care and support from those with responsibility for him (i.e. the club).

At least we can rely on our remaining striking option to be fit and bang in the goals.

I agree he’s not a bad egg. I do though think that shouldn’t stop RDZ from sending a message if he so chooses. Because I can see from the club’s POV that they’ve done right by any player that said they wanted to leave. And there needs to be that two way trust because if they’re letting someone go, they need a replacement. So I can see why, if they think Richy has said he wants to go, and they let him talk to other clubs, and then he just decides to accept nothing, there needs to be a consequence for that.
I still don’t think the truth has fully come out. Richy is now saying ‘Oh I never said I WANTED to leave, just that I would if a good offer came in’ which I don’t think is much of a distinction in the clubs eyes. We were looking for commitment. For players to actively want to be here. And that is probably not a good answer in that sense.
But…I don’t fully understand why we wouldn’t accept the Turkey offer or why that deal didn’t happen. And I’d like to believe the club were across any legal exposure RE cancelling his contract, and haven’t just sleepwalked into this situation. Because that would be bad. It also seems like he’s still training with the first team, which I don’t think is great for morale and focus.
I always choose to believe people in power aren’t complete idiots. Until the evidence is too overwhelming the other way. And right now, I feel like we’re missing something in this story.

It's definitely a freeze out.
But the situation from the clubs pov needs (needed) looking at with a cool head.
I think RDZ gets what he wants at the moment, and you can see the 'mamma mia' italianess ooze out of him, as he's the captain of the ship...so coolness and calculated might not be available?

Did Richy say no to them so he could move back to Brazil?
If so, he has cost the club 20-25 mil, more if he expects his contract to be bought out too.

That's a reasonable to behave. Its not his fault he was offered the length of contract he has. He's prepared to honour it

But it does contradict his IG statement about how any move would have to be in the club’s best interests.
