The 29-year-old Brazilian attacker faces an increasingly isolated situation at Tottenham Hotspur after being left out of the club’s registered Premier League squad.

Everton have reportedly ruled out renewing their pursuit of Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison following the breakdown of a proposed reunion during the summer transfer window.

According to reports from Football Insider shared by Transfer News Live on X, the Toffees are highly unlikely to revisit a deal for the 29-year-old attacker in upcoming windows. Richarlison, who previously established himself as a talismanic figure at Goodison Park during his four-year spell on Merseyside, was heavily linked with a potential return to Everton prior to the summer transfer deadline. However, terms could not be finalized, leaving the proposed transfer off the table.

A Difficult Circumstance at Hotspur Way

The failed Everton move marks one of several frustrating developments for the Brazilian international in recent months. Richarlison was officially left out of Tottenham’s registered Premier League squad for the 2026/27 season under head coach Roberto De Zerbi, leaving him entirely without top-flight match minutes in North London .

In an attempt to secure playing time following his omission from Spurs’ domestic squad, representatives explored alternative exit opportunities across international markets. However, prospective transfers to Turkish Super Lig side Trabzonspor and Brazilian outfit Vasco da Gama both failed to materialize before their respective transfer windows closed.

Everton are unlikely to revive their interest in Richarlison after a proposed summer return fell through.

With his current contract at Tottenham set to expire next summer, Richarlison faces an uncertain future at the club. Having seen multiple exit routes close while remaining outside De Zerbi’s Premier League squad plans, the 29-year-old finds himself in a difficult position as he awaits the reopening of the transfer window in January. The attacker’s peripheral role underscores the sweeping squad transition currently taking place at Tottenham as the club focuses on its refreshed attacking lineup.
