Cristian Romero to follow Thomas Frank out of Tottenham Hotspur, Mohamed Salah ‘in talks’ to leave Liverpool

Cristian Romero to follow Thomas Frank out of Tottenham Hotspur, Mohamed Salah ‘in talks’ to leave Liverpool - Euro Transfer News

In Wednesday's Euro Transfer News round-up, Cristian Romero will reportedly follow Thomas Frank out the door and Mohamed Salah is set for a move to Saudi Arabia. That is not all though. Southampton’s Caspar Jander is attracting interest from some of Europe’s top clubs and Endrick will apparently return to Real Madrid at the end of his loan with Lyon instead of being sold.

Romero to leave Spurs after Frank exit

Things could go from bad to worse for managerless Tottenham, with Real Madrid reportedly interested in signing their captain, Cristian Romero.

The Spurs skipper has been linked with a move away from north London for some time now, and those reports have only grown in recent weeks, with the defender criticising the club’s recruitment on social media.

Prior to being sacked as manager, Thomas Frank admitted that he had "no idea" if Romero would be at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next season.

Now Mundo Deportivo are saying that Madrid could try to bolster their defensive options by bringing the 27-year-old to the Bernabeu.

"It is well known that Real Madrid are looking for a centre-back for next season and in recent months several names have already emerged as potential signings," read the article. "The latest to join the long list is Tottenham defender Cristian Romero.

"This all stems from rumours circulating in England that the Argentine could leave despite still being under contract with Spurs.

"Comments he made criticising his own management have put him in the spotlight, and it's said he's unhappy on the island."

Salah set for Saudi move

Mohamed Salah is open to a move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad at the end of the 2025/26 campaign, according to French outlet Foot Mercato.

The Egyptian forward has been linked with a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League since the division emerged as a rival to Europe’s elite, and after a highly-publicised dispute with Liverpool earlier this season, he could be ready to make the switch.

Salah has struggled to replicate the world-class form that fired The Reds to the Premier League title last term, producing a below-par six goals and six assists in 25 appearances across all competitions this season.

Foot Mercato say Salah is far more interested in a move to Saudi Arabia than he was 12 months ago.

"According to our information, his agent is in talks with Al-Ittihad, and unlike last year, Mo Salah is much more open to a move to Saudi Arabia," read the article. "This could satisfy all parties.

"Liverpool would receive a transfer fee, and Salah would be the one to ultimately decide the move. It's worth remembering that Al Ittihad lost their two French stars during the winter transfer window.

"Karim Benzema, who left for Al Hilal, and N'Golo Kante, who was sold to Fenerbahce."

Saints star attracts European interest

Florian Plettenberg believes that Southampton’s Caspar Jander is attracting interest from some of Europe’s top clubs.

The 22-year-old has apparently caught the eye of Ajax, RB Leipzig and Stuttgart, with The Saints currently ninth in the Championship table - one point off a play-off place.

Jander has impressed in the second division of English football this term, scoring two goals in 27 league appearances.

Plettenberg says that Southampton have valued the midfielder at between €15 million and €25 million.

"Caspar Jander is now one to watch ahead of the summer transfer window," he posted on X, formerly Twitter.

"22 y/o midfielder is a regular starter and a key player at Southampton, and ready for the next step in the summer.

"RB Leipzig, Stuttgart and Ajax are closely monitoring the situation, while there is also interest from the Premier League.

"Current price valuation is between €15–25 million."

Endrick to return to Madrid

Lyon scout Matthieu Louis-Jean expects Real Madrid's 19-year-old prospect Endrick to return to the Spanish club at the end of the 2025/26 campaign.

Endrick struggled to hit the ground running at the Bernabeu, but he has taken to life in France like a duck to water, producing three goals and one assist in four Ligue 1 appearances.

Louis-Jean says that the club are happy to have him as part of their squad.

"For now, he's here with us until the end of the season," he told RMC Sport.

"There's no ambiguity about that. Endrick often talks about God.

"We'll see what happens next, but for the moment we're very happy to have him, in terms of stats, impact, and profile."

"His arrival was considered right after the summer transfer window.

"We gave ourselves the opportunity to go after him in January."
