Tottenham are preparing for a crucial first campaign under new manager Thomas Frank, but that doesn't mean everyone will be along for the ride.
The Spurs squad responsible for clinching the club's first major trophy in nearly two decades will go down in Lilywhites folklore, though reports suggest that a few members of that side could be facing their final few weeks at the club.
Chief among them is star defender Cristian Romero, who could be at the centre of a tug-of-war between Real and Atlético Madrid this summer as both Spanish capital sides eye an audacious move for the Argentina international.
Real are expected to make an approach for Romero, according to some media sources, while others claim that Atletico have already offered Spurs around £56 million for his signature.
There is also a belief that Romero is keen on a move to Atlético in particular and will soon discuss his future with chairman Daniel Levy, so the saga surrounding his potential exit is unlikely to go away any time soon.
Meanwhile, Spurs legend Son Heung-min may also be sold before deadline day (The Telegraph), having entered the final 12 months of his contract.
The Saudi Pro League is targeting Son to join their division's host of illustrious stars, and Levy could use this as an opportunity to raise some revenue off a player who's arguably been on the decline this past year.
“Son would be a very valuable asset for Saudi Arabia," said former Everton CEO, Keith Wyness, to Football Insider last month.
“At 32, it’s probably the right time for him to go if Spurs are going to maximise his value. I think Tottenham won’t find a better deal if they leave it later than right now. I believe they could even get something like £40-50million for him.
“That would be incredible, and I suggest that deal could be done. It might be in everyone’s interest to get him down to Saudi Arabia this summer.”
According to journalist Jorge Nicola this week, Saudi are actually targeting another Spurs forward with Son as well.
Tottenham put Richarlison up for sale amid Galatasaray and Saudi interest
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Nicolas reports that the man in question is striker Richarlison.
The Brazil international, who cost £60 million to sign from Everton three years ago, has been called an "underrated" member of the squad during his time in London (Micah Richards), and enjoyed a real purple patch of form under Ange Postecoglou midway through the 2023/2024 season.
However, barring that flash in the pan, Richarlison has largely failed to justify his mammoth price tag, partly due to injuries.
Nicola states that Tottenham are actively looking to sell Richarlison, and have held recent exit discussions amid serious interest from Saudi, who've been in contact for the last month.
As well as this, Turkish Süper Lig champions Galatasaray are expected to make an offer for the 28-year-old in the next few days, so Richarlison isn't exactly short of suitors.
With a place in Brazil's 2026 World Cup squad potentially at the forefront of his mind, Richarlison's next move will be absolutely crucial.
