Report: Tottenham’s Third-Highest Earner Considering Summer Exit

Tottenham Hotspur have won only two of their last ten Premier League matches, leaving them 15th in the table, just eight points clear of the relegation zone.

A string of victories could turn things around for manager Ange Postecoglou, but the team is currently struggling with low confidence, and the situation could deteriorate further.

Adding to Spurs’ woes, one of their key players is reportedly considering leaving the club at the end of the season.

Cristian Romero Open to Exiting Tottenham Amid Interest from Top Clubs

Cristian Romero, Tottenham’s vice-captain and one of their most crucial players, is rumored to be open to a move away from the club.

The Argentine defender has endured a challenging season, having suffered four separate injuries that have kept him sidelined for a total of 29 games across all competitions.

While Romero is close to making his return, it’s possible these could be his final months as a Spurs player.

According to the Daily Mail, Romero is “open to leaving” Tottenham during the summer transfer window.

The report also highlights that Spanish clubs, including Real Madrid, are monitoring the situation closely and may attempt to sign him before the next season begins.

In September, TBR Football exclusively reported that Tottenham are aware of Real Madrid’s interest in Romero.

Although the club has initiated discussions over a new contract, no agreement has been reached. Romero’s current deal runs until the summer of 2027.

Romero’s Current Contract and Salary at Spurs

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is known for his reluctance to offer large salaries to players.

No Spurs player earns £200,000 per week or more—a stark contrast to other top-six clubs where multiple players surpass that figure.

Son Heung-min is currently the highest earner at Tottenham, followed by James Maddison, with Romero ranked joint-third alongside Timo Werner, who is on loan.

Should Romero receive an offer from a club like Real Madrid, his salary would likely increase significantly.

Moreover, his prospects of winning silverware would be much greater at Santiago Bernabéu than at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham’s Dilemma

Romero’s potential departure complicates Tottenham’s plans.

Losing a player of his caliber would be a significant blow, particularly as the team struggles to climb the league table.

For Tottenham to retain Romero, Levy must make a compelling offer to ensure the Argentine defender remains with the club.

As the summer transfer window approaches, the situation will be one to watch closely.
