Tottenham make January exit decision and tell player's camp – Extension now ruled out

Tottenham have told Richarlison's camp they will facilitate his January departure and ruled out extending his contract.

Tottenham have communicated to Richarlison's representatives that they will help facilitate his exit in January. The club has decided against triggering their unilateral option to extend his contract until 2028 and abandoned attempts to terminate his deal. The Brazilian forward's current contract runs until June 2027, meaning he can negotiate a pre-contract from January, but Spurs plan to allow an immediate transfer rather than wait for a free departure in summer. Both sides are understood to be aligned on finding a solution.
