Overview
- Tottenham have completed defensive recruitment this summer with the confirmed signings of Jan Paul van Hecke and Marcos Senesi, moves the club has presented as strengthening the back line.
- Former Tottenham senior scout Bryan King told reporters he expects those signings to make Romero surplus to requirements and to prompt a summer departure.
- Romero remains under contract with Spurs until 2029 and is currently with Argentina at the World Cup, so any transfer discussions are widely expected to take place after the tournament ends.
- Multiple clubs have been linked as potential suitors in recent coverage, with Atletico Madrid repeatedly reported as likely and Argentine journalists telling outlets that Manchester United view Romero as a target.
- Tottenham are thought to want at least the fee they originally paid for Romero and his World Cup performances could raise his market value while the club reorganises its leadership and defensive profile.
