RB Leipzig have emerged as the most serious suitor for a Tottenham star, with talks currently ongoing on the player's side, according to a report.
Tottenham players who could leave this summer
If Spurs are relegated to the Championship, a mass exodus is pretty inevitable, but they may have to wave goodbye to a few regardless.
While much of the focus will be on strengthening the squad, survival pending, there is also an expectation that several current players could move on as part of a wider reshuffle.
Spurs are still navigating a torrid Premier League campaign, with a survival battle poised to define their season.
That has kept them outside the top end of the table for long spells, and it has also increased scrutiny on certain members of the squad who have struggled to deliver consistent performances.
Cristian Romero remains one of the most important players in the squad when available, but it has been consistently reported for months that the Argentine is very likely to leave this summer.
Meanwhile, defensive partner Micky van de Ven has also established himself as a key figure, but the Dutchman is attracting major interest from the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and Real Madrid.
The Lilywhites could demand as much as £88 million for van de Ven, which would make him the most expensive defender in football history, but that will depend on their Premier League status.
Van de Ven and Romero aren't the only centre-backs linked with an exit, either.
Radu Dragusin in talks to join RB Leipzig from Tottenham with bid expected
That brings attention to Radu Dragusin, who only joined Spurs from Genoa in 2024 for around £26 million.
.
The Romania international was signed as a young defensive prospect with potential to develop in the Premier League, but his game time has been limited due to injury, competition and the established partnership ahead of him.
Now, according to SportsBoom, RB Leipzig are in talks with Dragusin’s representatives and are expected to submit a bid in the region of £17 million — a figure in and around Tottenham's ideal asking price.
The Bundesliga side are long-term admirers of the defender and are exploring a move as they look to strengthen their back line, but they face competition from Roma and Juventus.
For Spurs, the situation is relatively straightforward.
While Dragusin is still highly rated in some quarters internally, the club are said to be open to offers that meet their valuation of between £17 million and £22 million, especially as they look to manage squad balance and create room for future recruitment.
The 24-year-old has not been a regular starter due to the presence of Romero and van de Ven, and his opportunities have often come in rotation or cup matches.
His adaptation period was also disrupted when he suffered a long-term ACL injury in February 2025 that kept him out for months.
The major setback halted his momentum just as he was beginning to settle into the squad, and it has made it harder for him to establish himself in the pecking order since returning.
That context is important when assessing Leipzig’s interest.
The German side are known for targeting players with development potential, and Dragusin still fits that profile despite a difficult period in England.
From Tottenham’s perspective, the reported £17-22m valuation suggests they are open to selling at a loss.
