Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi has confirmed that three members of his squad—forward Richarlison, defender Kevin Danso, and midfielder Pape Matar Sarr—have formally expressed a desire to depart the club. The announcement comes amid ongoing speculation regarding the future of several key players at the North London side.

De Zerbi’s comments provide clarity on the internal status of these players, though the club has not yet released an official statement regarding the potential transfer negotiations or the timeline for any exits. The request from these players suggests a potential period of transition for the squad, as the coaching staff and management must now decide whether to facilitate these moves or attempt to retain the players.

As of now, there is no information regarding potential destination clubs for the trio, nor has there been a response from the players' representatives. The situation remains fluid, and the club’s ability to manage these departures may impact their performance and depth for the remainder of the season. The public nature of De Zerbi's admission is notable, as managers often keep such internal discussions private until deals are closer to completion.
