“SHOCKING EXIT! Tottenham’s Frankfurt Hero Set to STUN Fans with Summer Departure!”
Tottenham Hotspur standout from Frankfurt victory now expected to leave club this summer
Several of Tottenham’s key players have underperformed this season, contributing to the club’s current position in the Premier League.
One notable example is Cristian Romero, whose campaign has been disrupted by injuries.
However, even when fit, the Argentine defender has been guilty of some costly mistakes—most recently in the 4-2 defeat to Wolves.
Despite these setbacks, Romero delivered a standout performance on Thursday as Spurs secured their place in the Europa League semifinals.
His commanding display was praised by fans, who saw it as a timely response to recent criticism.
Romero appeared to answer his detractors emphatically following the win, but a new report indicates his future in North London could be uncertain.
According to multiple sources, the defender may be set for a move to Atletico Madrid.
Over recent weeks, speculation has grown about Romero’s desire to join the La Liga side, who are said to be keen on the centre-back.
Romero is reportedly eager to play in the Champions League and challenge for top honours—something that Tottenham have struggled to consistently offer during his time at the club.
TalkSPORT now reports that Spurs are ‘likely’ to lose Romero in the next transfer window, reaffirming earlier rumors.
The club has already begun eyeing potential replacements, with Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen emerging as a top target.
The 20-year-old, who is also attracting interest from Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal, has a £50 million release clause, and Bournemouth are expected to cash in on him this summer.
Despite the growing speculation, there remains a possibility that Romero could stay.
The Spurs vice-captain has two years remaining on his current deal, and reports suggest that Tottenham are prepared to offer him a new long-term contract.
Sources indicate that Romero is hesitant to commit because he wants to play in the Champions League.
Since joining Spurs, he has only participated in the tournament once in four seasons.
If Tottenham were to win the Europa League, and thereby secure a place in next season’s Champions League, it could change the defender’s stance.
Ultimately, while a move to Atletico seems increasingly plausible, the outcome of Spurs’ European campaign may yet influence Romero’s decision.
