Spurs Web

Fabrizio Romano has revealed what his sources have told him about the likelihood of Cristian Romero departing Tottenham Hotspur this summer.

It has now dawned on Tottenham fans that Romero may have played his final game for Spurs after his latest knee injury ruled him out of the rest of the season.

The Tottenham captain continues to be linked with the biggest clubs in the world ahead of the summer window, and everything points to a parting of ways between the North London club and the centre-back.

In fact, several sources have said that Spurs are ready to cash in on Romero even if they stay in the Premier League.

Fabrizio Romano reveals Cristian Romero’s camp expect Tottenham exit this summer

Romano has now weighed in on the ongoing speculation over the World Cup winner’s future as the Lilywhites desperately try to stay in the Premier League.

He explained that both the centre-back’s camp and Tottenham expect a summer exit, but pointed out that a deal may not be straightforward to complete.

When asked about the 27-year-old’s future, Romano said on GiveMeSport’s Market Madness podcast: “What I can tell you is that there is a feeling around all people involved in this story, on player’s side, and then on club side, it is probably going to be time for Cuti Romero to leave in the summer transfer window.

“We know it’s always difficult to negotiate with Tottenham, especially when it’s about top players. They are tough and so obviously, let’s see who is prepared to pay what Tottenham want.”

Romano reveals if Romero has a release clause in his Spurs contract

Reports over recent weeks have indicated that the Spurs defender has a release clause in his Spurs contract, which can be activated by three clubs this summer: Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

This was also confirmed by the centre-back’s father, who revealed last week that Romero has a release clause of around $50-$70m (£37.8m-£53m).

However, Romano has now denied the existence of such a clause, revealing that the defender only has a gentleman’s agreement with the North Londoners regarding a summer exit.

He added: “From what I understand, there is no release clause, in paper, in the contract of Cuti Romero. It was just a gentleman’s agreement, but with the previous chairman, Daniel Levy, but now there is no release clause to be activated.

“The price is up to Tottenham. It’s Tottenham deciding, so we have to see how the negotiations will be. There is interest from Europe, and also from abroad. For sure, there is a lot of interest in Romero, and the expectation of those around player and club is that something will happen in the summer. But again, it depends on the price.”

An Italian journalist has made a confident prediction regarding the future of Dejan Kulusevski at Tottenham Hotspur, as the Lilywhites fight to retain their Premier League status.

Over recent months, it has been suggested that there could be a mass exodus from Tottenham this summer if the club get relegated.

Experts have suggested that Spurs would be forced to cash in on many of their highest earners if they go down, as the club would not be able to sustain a big wage bill in the Championship.

One would expect plenty of top clubs to be circling over Tottenham’s star players, eyeing possible bargain deals for the summer, but one attacker has now been backed to remain in N17.

Dejan Kulusevski is expected to stay at Tottenham even if they get relegated

Kulusevski has not kicked a ball yet this season, with the attacking midfielder having been out of action with a knee injury since last May.

Gianluca Di Marzio believes that the Swede will remain at N17 even if Tottenham Hotspur find themselves in the Championship, revealing that Roberto De Zerbi is a big fan of the former Juventus star.

Di Marzio told Bettingsidor.se (as relayed by Football.London): “I definitely think Kulusevski will stay at Tottenham, even if they get relegated. He is a good example for other players and Roberto De Zerbi likes him.

“He has the right mentality, so I think Kulusevski can be one of the most important players for their project, regardless if they are in the Premier League or the Championship. De Zerbi will really try to keep him. He loves players like him who have a strong identity and personality. He will definitely try to keep him.”

Kulusevski has set a big summer objective

The Sweden international’s rehabilitation has not progressed as quickly as Spurs would have wanted, and there has been no clear update on his expected return date.

Alasdair Gold explained last month that Tottenham are waiting for the pain in Kulusevski’s knee to subside before stepping up his rehabilitation.

Tottenham Hotspur have just found out their rumoured pursuit of Alex Scott got a lot harder following a big update on the Bournemouth midfielder’s future.

Spurs fans have had a keen eye on the 22-year-old’s development at the Vitality Stadium, given that the youngster has never hidden his affection for the Lilywhites.

Just last week, Scott admitted that it felt extra special to score against Arsenal, given that he grew up supporting Tottenham.

It has been widely reported that Spurs have been considering a move to bring the Cherries star to N17, but their pursuit has just got a lot harder.

Chelsea pushing ahead with a move for Tottenham target Alex Scott

The Independent have now revealed that Chelsea have entered the race to land the young midfielder ahead of the summer window.

The report claims that the Blues want to make changes to their midfield department in the summer, and their decision-makers are keen on bringing Scott through the door.

It is said that the West London club have now ‘accelerated’ their interest in the Cherries star and have so far shown the ‘firmest interest’ in his services.

MORE SPURS STORIES

That presents a problem to Tottenham, who may be hoping that the youngster’s soft spot for the club would give them an advantage over their London rivals in the transfer race.

How much do Spurs have to pay to land Scott this summer?

The Independent claim that Andoni Iraola’s men want over £50m for Scott, which is double the £25m they paid to sign him from Bristol City back in 2023.

In fact, it is asserted that there is potential for the fee to be even higher this summer if more clubs enter the race for the England international.

Tottenham Hotspur have already decided on Cristian Romero’s future ahead of the summer window, even though the club do not know whether they will still be in the Premier League next season.

The Tottenham captain is now expected to miss five to eight weeks of action after picking up a knee injury in the club’s 1-0 loss at the Stadium of Light.

That means that the centre-back’s season may be over, although he will be a relieved man to know that he is expected to be fit in time for Argentina’s World Cup defence this summer.

Ahead of Roberto De Zerbi‘s first full season in charge, the Lilywhites have already decided on the future of their captain.

Cristian Romero may not play for Tottenham again after club’s tranfer decision

Romero has given a glowing assessment of De Zerbi and his methods, but the Argentine may not play again for the Italian coach.

This is according to talkSPORT, who say that Tottenham are set to cash in on the 27-year-old this summer, even if they stay in the Premier League.

The report claims that the Lilywhites are planning a massive overhaul of their squad this summer, with Romero considered one of their more sellable assets.

The outlet confirms that Atletico Madrid have a long-standing interest in the player, and Romero’s father revealed that his son’s contract has a release clause of around $50-$70m (£37.8m-£53m).

Four other senior men may depart Spurs this summer

According to talkSPORT, Romero may not be the only senior man to exit Hotspur Way this summer as part of the club’s squad rebuild.

It is suggested that Guglielmo Vicario, Yves Bissouma and Destiny Udogie are also among the names likely to depart Tottenham at the end of the campaign.

Additionally, the report adds that Spurs are ‘far from guaranteed’ to activate their option to sign Joao Palhinha permanently from Bayern Munich.

With interest in Alfie Devine heating up ahead of the summer transfer window, the on-loan Tottenham star has now addressed speculation surrounding his future.

Tottenham Hotspur will be pleased with the progress being made by on-loan star Alfie Devine, who is currently with Preston North End.

The 21-year-old has been a key player for the Championship side, scoring eight goals and providing four assists in all competitions.

Last time out against QPR, the young midfielder managed an assist, having grabbed a brace against Stoke City the week before.

Unsurprisingly, the 21-year-old’s impressive displays have kept several clubs alert, including Premier League sides who are showing an interest in signing Devine.

Alfie Devine addresses his future as Tottenham flirt with relegation

Preston North End are also in the race for Devine, as they have a buy option included in their loan deal. However, the fee of £4.5 million is seen as a major obstacle for the Championship side, who may struggle to meet that valuation.

The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder, who is no stranger to loan spells with this being his fourth, has now opened up on his future and the thought process behind his next move.

Speaking to BBC Lancashire, Devine explained that his immediate focus remains on his current club rather than long-term uncertainty.

He said: “I do not really spend that much time thinking about it, to be honest. I think, obviously, keeping an eye on Tottenham’s results and everything to do with that.

“But while I am here, I am just focused on everything that is going on here and then I think football sort of takes care of itself. So, what next season will look like, I cannot really tell you. But I know that I will be pushing for the thing that probably will be the best for me and what I want for myself, not what other people will want for me.

“There is obviously the buy option in the loan and stuff. It is hard to say whether that will happen or that will not happen, because in football things change so fast. I will be sure to pick something that is right for me and if that takes time, then it takes time. I will definitely make sure that the one I pick is obviously picked by myself.”

Devine also reflected on how quickly situations can change in football, stressing the importance of patience when making career decisions.

“Everyone is obviously different as footballers. I think the thing that I have noticed as a person in football, not a player, is that you have to always do what is best for you on the pitch, definitely. You never know what goes on in football. Stuff changes very quickly and it is just about taking your time.”

Spurs loan star Alfie Devine opens up on sacrifices and decision-making

We recently reported that Devine was scouted by Celtic, who are also keen on securing his signature. Such a move will no doubt take the Spurs man farther away from his family and friends.

Continuing to speak about his journey, the Tottenham midfielder discussed the personal sacrifices that come with moving away from home and how those experiences shape his decisions.

“Definitely,” said Devine. “It is not like an important factor but it worked out nice for me this time. Last year, going to Belgium and stuff like that, I was not thinking, ‘Oh, it is miles away from home’. I am going there because I know what is right for my football at the time, in the position I was in. There was only the abroad market open, so that is the only place I could go and I wanted to go out on loan – everything is a football-based decision.”

He then highlighted the off-pitch challenges, explaining the realities of being away from family and friends during key moments.

“I was in London at 15, 16 and would only come back home for summer for maybe a month, five weeks if that. Last year I was in Belgium where I could only see my mates in those eight, nine months about three, four times.

“I think it is the little things that people do not see; you miss out on birthdays, you miss out on family stuff, you miss out on all that stuff when you are away. When you are home you get to do all of that plus your football as well. I think that is what everyone wants. It is not a priority to be at home but when the two and two fell together then it was perfect.”

Reports have now revealed what former Tottenham Hotspur boss Thomas Frank has been up to since he was sacked by Spurs.

Tottenham Hotspur’s plans to take their sporting project to another level under Thomas Frank earlier this season came crumbling down, as the Dane struggled to make an impact.

Frank was brought in to steady the ship and have Tottenham competing at the top again following their Europa League triumph in the previous season under Ange Postecoglou.

However, a regressive style of football that alienated fans, along with a poor run of form, ultimately proved costly for the former Brentford manager, who was sacked after just eight months in north London.

Tottenham exit sees Thomas Frank stay silent amid interview requests

While Tottenham look to rectify their situation, Ekstra Bladet has now shared a report on what Thomas Frank has been doing since leaving Spurs.

The Danish outlet reports that Frank has not given an interview or appeared on any podcast or show to discuss his exit from Tottenham.

The publication claims that Frank has already turned down four requests for interviews, prompting the newspaper to contact Tottenham to ask whether there is a clause preventing him from speaking, although there was no response.

However, they did manage to get hold of his agent, who provided an update on Frank’s current situation and explained his silence.

His agent, Allan Bak, told Ekstra Bladet: “He is going to relax a bit and visit friends and family. Still a little too early for interviews.

“He is enjoying himself with family and friends right now. Has decided to pull the plug and relax.”

Spurs exit may not keep Thomas Frank out of management for long

While Frank is understood to be taking time to unwind, recent reports have claimed that the Dane is not far away from a return to management.

We revealed last month that Frank is now on the radar of Crystal Palace, who are keen to have him in their dugout next season.

It is explained that the former Tottenham boss is seen as an ideal replacement for Oliver Glasner, who is set to depart this summer.

Frank will surely not be remembered fondly by many fans, as his tenure in N17 has left the club embroiled in a relegation battle, with Spurs now on course to lose their Premier League status, one they have held for almost half a century.

Mohammed Kudus is currently out with a quad injury, and it remains to be seen whether he will ever play for Tottenham Hotspur again amid some huge transfer rumours.

Tottenham Hotspur made a strong start to the season, and Mohammed Kudus was at the centre of the club’s positive form.

The ex-Hammer impressed with his dribbling and physicality. Plus, he had registered six Premier League assists by the beginning of December.

However, Kudus has been sidelined with an injury since the start of the year and Spurs recently announced that he might need surgery. As a result, it is now highly unlikely the Ghanaian will be seen again this season.

Mohammed Kudus is wanted by Tottenham’s Premier League rivals

Despite Kudus’ fitness struggles, he is attracting interest from both Manchester United and Chelsea ahead of the summer transfer window, according to Caught Offside.

The Red Devils are on course for Champions League qualification next season, so could be viewed as an attractive option.

Chelsea have been less impressive, but are still in with a chance of finishing in the top five, which would be enough to seal a place among Europe’s elite next season.

Spurs on the other hand are scrambling for survival, and it remains to be seen whether Kudus would stick around if Roberto De Zerbi’s team are relegated to the Championship.

Spurs are short on right-wingers, through their own fault

Any interest in Kudus is a huge blow for Tottenham and not merely due to the fact that he has only played half a season at the club.

Spurs inexplicably sold Brennan Johnson in January, and Dejan Kulusevski has been out injured for a whole year. Quite simply, the club cannot afford to lose Kudus. However, relegation from the Premier League would give them little choice on the matter.

Ultimately, it seems like a squad rebuild will be required, and this is probably the case whether Tottenham avoid the drop or not.

Tottenham Hotspur are wasting no time in trying to get ahead of the competition to land Marcos Senesi, but they have plenty of work to do to sign the Bournemouth defender.

The speculation linking the Argentine centre-back with a move to N17 has gone into hyperdrive over the last week as the defender looks set to become a free agent this summer.

Over recent days, various outlets have said that Tottenham are in close contact with Senesi’s representatives regarding a switch to N17.

It has been claimed that there could be some big developments on the Spurs target’s future by the end of the week, after the defender already made it known that he will not be signing a new contract at the Vitality Stadium.

Tottenham one of four clubs making ‘strongest push’ for Marcos Senesi

A new report in Ole has now provided an update on the Argentine centre-back’s future.

It is revealed that Senesi has already been the subject of enquiries from multiple clubs, and there have already been some negotiations held.

The outlet claims that the four sides showing the ‘most interest’ and are making the ‘strongest push’ at the moment are Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, Man United and Chelsea.

However, it is pointed out that Senesi will only consider a move to the North London club if they manage to secure their Premier League status.

When Senesi is expected to decide on his next destination

Ole claim that the interest in the experienced defender is not restricted to England, with Barcelona and Juventus also in the running to land the Bournemouth star.

The outlet backs up what some other sources have said by asserting that Senesi wants to finalise his next destination before this summer’s World Cup.

The publication adds that the 28-year-old’s immediate focus is on having a strong end to the season with the Cherries and to seal his spot in Lionel Scaloni’s final list for the big tournament in North America this summer.

Adi Hutter has made an interesting admission about being linked with the Tottenham Hotspur job prior to the club’s appointment of Roberto De Zerbi.

While the Italian coach has not had the start he would have hoped for to his spell at Spurs, who fell to a 1-0 loss at Sunderland in his first game in charge.

However, the Lilywhites are seemingly happy with their decision. Tottenham’s sporting director, Johan Lange, has made it clear that De Zerbi was always the club’s top target.

The 46-year-old has committed to a five-year contract, and additionally, De Zerbi has also guaranteed that he will be in charge of Spurs next season, even if they get relegated.

Adi Hutter reveals he did not want to be a firefighter at Tottenham

Before De Zerbi arrived through the door, some outlets suggested that Spurs had held talks with Adi Hutter, who has been out of work since parting ways with Monaco last October.

The experienced manager has now revealed that he had no intention of being involved in an immediate relegation battle at this stage of his managerial career.

The 56-year-old told 90 Minuten: “It’s true that you have to process being released from your contract. You have to reflect on why it happened that way and what you could have done better. That takes time. What I absolutely dislike is playing the role of a firefighter.

“Before I went to Monaco, I could have stepped in as a firefighter in England, but I declined. When you arrive somewhere where things are in crisis, you never have the opportunity to develop your playing philosophy in ten or twelve games. You have to adopt a completely different approach to coaching and management. That was never what I wanted.”

Hutter admits it was an honour to be linked with Spurs job

While the Austrian did not actually confirm if Tottenham approached him, he has directly addressed the speculation linking him with the North London club.

Hutter admitted that it was ‘an honour’ to be linked with jobs as big as the Spurs one.

When asked about the speculation, the former Monaco boss said: “I’ve been linked with Lazio and Tottenham Hotspur. Of course, I could say: It’s an honour to be a topic of discussion with these clubs.

“I’m not the type to broadcast every inquiry, every discussion. That’s not my style, and I don’t think it’s fair to the clubs. I understand every club that doesn’t want to have to moderate a coaching discussion. That’s why such matters are always discussed internally.”

Former Tottenham striker Fernando Llorente has now delivered his verdict on the chances of a Spurs Premier League relegation.

Tottenham Hotspur’s 2026 woes are showing no sign of easing despite the Lilywhites having turned to three different managers – Thomas Frank, Igor Tudor and Roberto De Zerbi.

De Zerbi is the latest to take the reins, but his start was far from perfect, as he fell to a disappointing 1-0 defeat at the hands of Sunderland in his debut game.

That defeat has now sent Spurs into the bottom three, leaving them in a precarious position in the league with just six games left to play.

Tottenham relegation fears deepen as Fernando Llorente delivers verdict

Former Tottenham striker Fernando Llorente has now shared his thoughts on the club’s current struggles, expressing concern over their situation while reflecting on how quickly things have unravelled.

Speaking to Hajper, Llorente addressed Tottenham’s poor season and the difficulty of explaining their decline.

He said, “Let us hope they do not go down. This year is going badly, it is inexplicable. After winning the Europa League (I was at San Mames that day), and playing in the Champions League this year… they started very well. It is incredible.

“The level of the Premier League is extremely high. The competitiveness is brutal. If you do not do things right we have seen it many times in other big leagues.

“I remember that great Atletico Madrid team with Hasselbaink that still went down to the second division. How is that possible? There are things in football that are hard to explain.

“But in the end all teams fight, and even if you have great players, if the group is not very united and does not fight together, you may not get out of a difficult situation like the one Tottenham are in now.”

Spurs must show unity to survive relegation battle

Of course, Spurs must put in a fight if they are to stay in the Premier League this season. However, with results since the turn of the year only getting worse, it does look like this group of players do not have what it takes to turn things around.

Tottenham have not been in a situation like this in recent years, with the last time they were relegated dating back to the 1970s.

Such lack of experience appears to be working against the Lilywhites, who are up against sides that have been in relegation scraps more recently.

The know-how within the Nottingham Forest, West Ham and Leeds camps is evident, as the three sides are doing enough to move clear of the drop zone, while Spurs have continued to sink.
