Tottenham Hotspur have rejected an offer from UAE club Shabab Al Ahli for Richarlison. Shabab Al Ahli wanted to bring the forward to the UAE, and their manager, former Brazilian Olympic manager Andre Jardine, was advocating for a reunion with the player. Richarlison had been considering joining the UAE club, however, the proposal did not meet Tottenham’s requirements. Sources told TEAMtalk that the UAE Pro League club's approach was rejected by Tottenham because the proposed deal was not considered suitable. TEAMtalk understands that the decision was based on the terms of the proposed deal rather than Richarlison’s willingness to consider the move.

According to ESPN, Shabab Al Ahli in the United Arab Emirates made a new offer to sign forward Richarlison, which Tottenham Hotspur rejected. The report did not state the value of the offer. According to sources, the English club's idea is to keep Richarlison at the club until December, then start looking for better opportunities in the January 2027 transfer window.

Tottenham Hotspur has placed Richarlison on its transfer list with a minimum price of €20 million and has ruled out any loan deals. Shabab Al Ahli has demonstrated interest in the player, for whom the Middle Eastern market is the most appealing destination. The London club rejected two offers from Trabzonspor, and Richarlison is in the final year of his contract, allowing him to sign a pre-contract agreement in January.
