Richarlison left out: Spurs make it official

According to BBC Sport, Richarlison's name simply isn't on Tottenham's submitted Premier League squad for the season, a detail confirmed separately by ESPN FC, who report the omission alongside growing exit talk around the forward. GiveMeSport, covering the same squad confirmation, frames it plainly: Spurs have snubbed him.

Squad registration isn't a minor bit of admin. Clubs list who's actually eligible to play in the league that season, and leaving a player off it is one of the clearest signals football gives you. It doesn't confirm a move is done. It does confirm the club has stopped planning around him.

No destination named yet

None of the reporting says whether Richarlison has been offered around to other clubs, whether a transfer is close, or whether this is some kind of disciplinary call rather than a straightforward footballing one. The brief here is thin by design: Spurs have said, in effect, that he doesn't figure in their plans, and left it there. The exit talk circulating alongside the omission is speculation at this stage, not something any source has tied to a specific club or a concrete timeline.

That's a familiar sequence in the modern transfer calendar. A player gets squeezed out of matchday plans first, then out of squad lists, and a move follows within a window or two. It doesn't always play out that way, but the pattern is well worn enough that nobody around Tottenham will be surprised by the speculation this triggers.

Where this leaves Richarlison

Richarlison has been a fixture of sorts at Spurs since his move from Everton, in and around the squad without ever quite nailing down a run of consistent starts under multiple regimes at the club. Being left off the Premier League list now means he can't feature in the league at all this season unless something changes, which puts real pressure on any exit talk to become something concrete.

Spurs haven't detailed a next step publicly, and reports haven't named an interested club. What's clear is the club has made its intentions obvious without saying a word about where he goes next. The next update on Richarlison won't be about form or fitness. It'll be about a destination.
