Julian Alvarez, Elliot Anderson and 30 players who will define the 2026 summer transfer window
Cristian Romero only signed a new four-year deal at Tottenham last summer, but his time in north London could be coming to an end 12 months later. After Kevin Danso impressed during the run-in alongside Micky van de Ven, and with Marcos Senesi set to join Spurs from Bournemouth while talented teenager Luka Vuskovic is returning from his superb loan spell at Hamburg, Roberto De Zerbi suddenly has a surplus of centre-backs.
Romero, meanwhile, twice publicly called out the Tottenham hierarchy during last season before he was forced into an embarrassing U-turn on the final day of the season after he planned to return to Argentina rather than attend Spurs’ relegation decider, further straing his relationship with the club. Fans, meanwhile, have grown tired of the club captain’s ill-discipline, and few would now be upset to see Romero leave. As they were last summer, Atletico Madrid are showing interest.
