Cristian Romero is looking increasingly likely to leave Tottenham in 2026.
Spurs’ winter transfer business is now done, as Joe Lewis signed six new players for Thomas Frank – albeit that includes youngsters – in the midst of a troubling time for the Lilywhites.
Tottenham fans are not happy with the club’s current situation, and the Spurs boss is a big reason for that.
There have been suggestions that players are not happy under Frank, and now it appears that Romero might just be one of them.
That’s based on a recent report from Argentine journalist Gaston Edul, who reported on Tuesday that the centre-back will depart from N17 in the summer.

Tottenham fans call Lewis family a ‘disgrace’ over Cristian Romero news
Romero’s next destination could be Real Madrid, with the Spanish giants reportedly ready to bid for the Spurs defender.
The 27-year-old is arguably one of the key reasons as to why Frank has still kept his job, and has come up with huge goals multiple times this season already.
Romero had a rant on social media on Monday after he was taken off as a precaution in Spurs’ 2-2 draw with Manchester City last time out in the Premier League.
But the recent news of their star centre-half possibly leaving has Tottenham fans stunned on X, with many venting their frustration towards Lewis and Co.
One Tottenham fan said: “I’m surprised he stayed for that long. ENIC and the Lewis family are a disgrace. Get them out already.”
Another Spurs supporter said: “Another player driven out of this club because the owners are cowards and failed to match his ambition. I feel nothing but shame and disgust.”
There’s only one way that Romero stays
Romero’s sale would obviously rake in big figures for Tottenham, but surely it’s more than just money sometimes?
The World Cup winner loves the Lilywhites and wants to push for success with the club, but he can’t be held back from achieving his own dreams, which is what’s currently happening with the direction Spurs are going in.
As highlighted by Sofascore, Romero averages a 7.28 rating across all competitions this season, and is always a standout player, even if he has a short fuse.
All hope isn’t lost, though, because if the Lilywhites were to start over fresh with a new manager, there’s surely a chance Romero would change his mind.
For now, he’s contracted to the club and will give his all for the badge. But Tottenham need to do whatever they can to keep their skipper.
