Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero is expected to leave the club at the end of the season.
The 27-year-old has been a key player for the club since joining them, and he has been linked with an exit in recent months. He was heavily linked with a move away from Tottenham during the summer window, but the North London club managed to convince him to stay at the club.
Cristian Romero set for exit
It seems that he will move on at the end of the season now. According to journalist Gaston Edul from TyC Sports, the player has interest from La Liga and another league. Romero recently posted an explosive social media post criticising the club’s ambition in the market, and it seems he is unhappy with how things have been at Tottenham. He is an ambitious player who wants to win a major trophy. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
He helped Tottenham win the UEFA Europa League last season and produced an exceptional performance in the final against Manchester United.
Can Spurs replace Romero?
There is no doubt that he is one of the best players in the Premier League, and his departure would be a blow for Tottenham. It remains to be seen if they can replace him properly.
They are already lacking depth in the defensive unit, and losing their best defender would be a hammer blow. However, the 27-year-old is an ambitious player who has won the World Cup and Copa América with his country. He will now look to win league titles and the UEFA Champions League trophy at the club level.
Tottenham have had a disappointing season, and they could miss out on Champions League qualification. It will be difficult for them to attract elite replacement without a top-four finish.
