Atlético Mineiro have investigated signing Richarlison. When Atlético supporters encouraged Richarlison to join their club, Savinho said he told Richarlison to go to Atlético and joked that he would be happier there.

According to Savinho, Richarlison's teammate at Tottenham, Richarlison commented that he wanted to go to Vasco in this window. This occurred amid rumors of interest from Atlético-MG.

Following a rumor of Atlético-MG's interest, an Instagram page encouraged fans to message Tottenham Hotspur's Richarlison about joining the club. The player's priority is to continue playing international football and he intends to wait for offers from open markets after talks with Trabzonspor did not progress. His contract with the English team expires next June, and Tottenham reportedly rejected multiple bids from Trabzonspor in September 2026.
