One Tottenham Hotspur star has privately told his teammates that he isn't too concerned about the club being relegated as he 'will leave' the club this summer, according to the Athletic.
The crisis is deepening at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the club in grave danger of finding themselves playing Championship football next season.
Spurs were in trouble when Thomas Frank was dismissed following defeat to Newcastle United last month, but they are now in an even worse position under interim manager Igor Tudor.
The 47-year-old has lost all four of his matches in charge, including the 5-2 away defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Tottenham's players are clearly struggling in terms of confidence, which is no surprise given they remain without a Premier League win in 2026 ahead of their trip to face Champions League qualification hopefuls Liverpool on Sunday.
Some Tottenham Players Unhappy With Teammates
According to the Athletic, while some Tottenham players are determined to bring the club away from trouble - they currently lie one point above the relegation zone - they have voiced their displeasure at the application of some of their teammates.
There is a belief that certain members of the squad are not motivated to help Spurs' cause, with the report also adding that one player has even privately told his teammates he's not too concerned about the possibility of relegation as he believes he 'will' secure a move away from the club in the summer transfer window.
Tottenham haven't even been able to rely on their senior players in recent weeks, with Cristian Romero only just returning from a four-match suspension, while Micky van de Ven was fortunate not to be sent off in successive games at the Metropolitano Stadium on Tuesday.
Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has also been out of form and was dropped by Tudor in the Spanish capital, although it was a decision that backfired catastrophically as two mistakes in the opening 15 minutes saw Antonin Kinsky substituted off just 17 minutes into his first Champions League start.
Vicario and Van de Ven Among Those Linked With Exit
Whichever division Tottenham find themselves in next season, there are likely to be wholesale changes to the squad in the summer.
Reports suggest that Vicario is determined to secure a return to Serie A this summer after three years in the Premier League, with his desire likely to be heightened having been brutally dropped by Tudor in midweek.
The Italian was already said to have a strained relationship with his Croatian manager before the decision.
Van de Ven is also said to want to play Champions League football and unless Spurs complete a remarkable turnaround against Atletico and then win the whole tournament, that isn't going to happen.
Meanwhile, reports from Tottenham captain Cristian Romero's homeland suggest that it is already decided that he will be leaving Spurs at the end of the season.
It's going to be an interesting few weeks and months ahead for the struggling north Londoners.
