Christian Romero (27) and Tottenham's farewell seems to be a fait accompli. Romero's dissatisfaction with the club's leadership exploded in the worst situation of relegation.

European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano pointed out on his YouTube channel on the 11th (Korea Standard Time), "We must pay attention to Romero in this summer's transfer market."

"Despite Romero's renewed contract last summer, several big clubs are looking at Tottenham's current situation and seeking to recruit him," he said. "If the world's best center back, who was the winner of the World Cup and the key to winning the UEFA Europa League (UEL), is for sale, it is natural that the market will pay attention."

In fact, La Liga giants such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid are reportedly sending love calls to Romero, who is sick of Tottenham's life. Although it is not in the specific stage of transfer negotiations, local experts agree that Romero has already made up his mind toward the transfer.

Britain's "Telegraph" also recently reported that Tottenham is planning a major reorganization of its squad for the upcoming summer, and Romero is likely to be the top selling target. With Tottenham CEO Vinay Venkatesham emphasising financial compliance, the club is seriously considering cashing in Romero to secure funds for the summer transfer window rebuild.

Romero had already reportedly hoped to leave the team shortly after winning the UEL last season. At that time, Tottenham refused to sell his transfer fee at a bargain price, valuing it at more than 60 million pounds (about 118.7 billion won). However, as Romero missed several games due to suspension this season and continued public criticism of the club through social media, there is a growing consensus within the club that it is best for both sides to break up after the end of the season, apart from the relegation competition.

As such, Romero's deep disappointment with the club's management method is underlying the rumor of separation. He did not hesitate to criticize the leadership through his social media (SNS) recently. Shortly after the recent defeat against Bournemouth in the 21st round of the English Premier League (EPL), Romero said, "I am responsible for the result," but added, "Those who have to step up and express their position at this time have been silent for years."

After the match against Manchester City (2-2 draw) in the 22nd round, he said, "I was in a bad condition, but I played too much because there were only 11 players who could play," adding, "It's hard to believe, but it's true, and it's a very shameful situation."

Tottenham is also said to be in a position not to hold Romero if he wants to leave the team. It is undeniable that it is an irreplaceable core power, but it is too much of a burden to continue to carry a player who openly criticizes the club and causes discord. In the end, it seems that the internal judgment is that it is best for the two sides to choose to part ways under an agreement.

Romero, who joined Tottenham in 2021, has scored 13 goals and seven assists in 153 games, and during this period, he has lifted the UEL trophy. Ahead of this season, Son Heung-min was succeeded by the captain's armband, but he prepared for a bitter farewell in conjunction with the recent leadership controversy.
