Is Richarlison a thug or is Tottenham a thug?

Machine translated

Tottenham and Richarlison had contracts ending in the 26-27 season, and Tottenham held a one-year contract extension option.
According to De Zerbi, the club attempted to discuss the one-year extension with Richarlison during the preseason,
but because Richarlison remained silent, the extension did not proceed,
and Richarlison went around mentioning that he wanted to move to another team.
Throughout this summer, the club tried to maximize transfer fee revenue, but things did not go well.
At the last minute, a connection with Everton was made, and they attempted to proceed with a completely separate deal where Tottenham would take Ndiaye and Everton would take Richarlison. (Perhaps due to accounting issues regarding Tottenham's massive recruitment spree, a player-swap style contract was difficult, or Tottenham might have recognized the risk in an agreement between Richarlison and Everton even if they had signed Ndiaye)
At this point, Richarlison likely failed to reach a final agreement with Everton, probably due to issues regarding his wages.
This led Richarlison to act out, essentially saying, "I won't move according to your wishes."
He then reached a personal agreement with Trabzonspor in Turkey at a level approximately three times his current wages.
However, typically, when a personal agreement is inflated like this, it works very disadvantageously for the current club during transfer fee negotiations. (Naturally, if a significant amount is spent on a player's wages, the transfer fee inevitably decreases)
This is difficult to achieve in the first place unless the player is an FA or the club has waived the transfer fee.
Tottenham signed Richarlison from Everton for 60m four years ago, and the known transfer fee when trying to sell him this time was around 35m.
However, it is reported that Trabzonspor did not offer more than 10m~20m. In any case, the transfer fee issue was ultimately not resolved, and in the meantime, Trabzonspor filled their three-foreigner quota by signing a forward from Midtjylland.
Following this, Tottenham registered their 25-man league squad excluding Richarlison.
Currently, Richarlison has nowhere to go except for some overseas leagues like the Brazilian league until September 11, or the Saudi league until early October.
Vasco da Gama in Brazil seems interested in a loan, but there are rumors that Richarlison refuses to return to Brazil; ultimately, it seems Tottenham dislikes the situation where, if they send him to Vasco da Gama on loan, they would have to release him as an FA without a transfer fee at the end of the season.
In the end, there seems to be no solution for Tottenham and Richarlison other than Saudi Arabia. The funny thing is, Richarlison doesn't seem to have any intention of just lying down and refusing to play for a year.
Personally, I think Richarlison is the thug. If he intended to leave, he shouldn't have reached a personal agreement for triple his wages with Trabzonspor. You dummy.
