“Fabio Paratici’s SHOCKING Plan to Ditch Cristian Romero for a SENSATIONAL New Tottenham Star!”

Tottenham Hotspur may soon face a major defensive shake-up, with reports suggesting that Cristian Romero’s future could be resolved by the end of the month.

Atletico Madrid are pushing to secure a deal for the Argentine, having reportedly set a firm deadline for the transfer.

In preparation for a potential departure, Spurs appear to be lining up replacements, with Lazio’s Mario Gila emerging as a key target.

The Spanish defender has built a strong reputation in Serie A, becoming one of the most dependable centre-backs over the past few seasons.

According to TEAMtalk, former Spurs director Fabio Paratici—who is expected to return to a formal role at the club—has already begun assisting with summer transfer plans.

Among his recommendations is Gila, who Paratici believes would be a strong fit to replace Romero.

Paratici’s deep knowledge of Italian football has reportedly played a role in identifying Gila as a priority. However, Tottenham will not have a free run at the 24-year-old.

Il Messaggero recently revealed that several top clubs are also pursuing Gila, including Chelsea, Bournemouth, PSG, and Real Madrid.

Lazio, for their part, seem determined to retain their star defender. The Italian club has already rejected two significant bids—€40 million (£34 million) from Bournemouth and €35 million (£30 million) from Chelsea.

As competition intensifies, Spurs will have to act decisively if they hope to land Gila and ensure stability at the back, should Romero depart.
