Richarlison ‘being sued’ after allegedly leaving former assistant ‘physically and mentally broken’

The Spurs player is reportedly set to be sued after he allegedly left his personal assistant physically and emotionally broken.

The £60million pound striker and Brazilian international is thereby reportedly being taken to a tribunal by Reginaldo Pereira, who claims he was fired without notice.

A source as per the report stated: “He feels like he was used as a dogsbody, who worked around the clock, and then was unfairly dumped.”

Pereira, 60, was by Richarlison's side following his moves to Watford, Everton and lastly Spurs.

However, it is claimed that the Spurs star did not register him, paid his £500-a-week wages straight into his account and did not grant the man holidays.

Mr Pereira stated: “I faced long working hours, excessive demands and verbal abuse — especially from Antonio Marcos de Andrade, Richarlison’s father.”

Pereira also said as per numerous reports: “After being dismissed I had to seek medical treatment to deal with the negative impacts of this toxic environment.

"My wife filed for divorce. I’m emotionally shaken and unemployed.”

Richarlison’s spokesman said: “The claims are denied but we will be making no further comment in respect of these proceedings.”

A preliminary hearing is due to take place in Watford next month.
