In a move that has sent social media into meltdown, Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison has unfollowed a fellow Spurs teammate on Instagram, sparking widespread speculation after what appears to be a controversial behind-the-scenes fallout.
The Brazilian striker, known for wearing his emotions on his sleeve both on and off the pitch, made the digital snub shortly after an incident that has reportedly created tension within the squad. While the exact details remain under wraps, sources close to the situation describe it as a “heated exchange” that occurred either during a recent training session or in the aftermath of a private team gathering.
What makes the situation even more explosive is the identity of the teammate in question — someone who has previously been seen as a close ally of Richarlison both on and off the field. The two have often exchanged banter online, celebrated goals together, and even been spotted vacationing during off-seasons. That makes this sudden social media break even more shocking to fans.
Tottenham supporters have been quick to pick up on the unfollow, with fans flooding Twitter (X) and Instagram with theories, memes, and calls for clarity. Some believe the incident could reflect deeper divisions inside the dressing room, while others fear it could impact team chemistry heading into pre-season preparations.
This isn’t the first time Richarlison’s social media activity has made headlines — his fiery personality and unapologetic authenticity have won him admirers and critics alike. But this latest move is being viewed as a clear signal that something serious has gone wrong within the Spurs camp.
Club officials have yet to comment, and no public statements have been made by either Richarlison or the teammate involved. However, insiders suggest the issue may require intervention from manager Ange Postecoglou as he looks to maintain unity ahead of a crucial campaign for the North London side.
As fans eagerly wait for more clarity, one thing is certain: when Richarlison makes a move online, it doesn’t go unnoticed — and this time, it could have real-life consequences in the Spurs dressing room.
