Cristian Romero’s future at Tottenham Hotspur remains uncertain as the club reportedly becomes increasingly open to offers for the Argentine defender.
The 28-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from North London for some time, and recent off-field controversies have only intensified speculation surrounding his future. Although Romero ultimately featured in Tottenham’s crucial final-day victory over Everton, questions surrounding his commitment added to growing concerns within the club.
Former Spurs scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that Tottenham are now willing to listen to offers for their captain, believing a fresh start could benefit both parties after a series of incidents and inconsistent performances.
Romero’s 2025/26 campaign was disrupted by injury, with the defender missing 10 matches and seeing his season end prematurely. Prior suspensions, disciplinary issues, and a perceived decline in form had already raised doubts about his long-term place at the club.
Despite previously being a key figure for Spurs, manager Roberto De Zerbi is believed to have reservations about Romero’s reliability and may be prepared to sanction his departure if a suitable offer arrives.
Interest from Spain remains strong, with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid among the clubs reportedly monitoring his situation. Tottenham could therefore face significant decisions during what is expected to be a busy summer transfer window.
Brown suggested that if an offer arrives that benefits the club financially and helps strengthen other areas of the squad, Spurs would likely be willing to negotiate.
Romero is not the only Tottenham player attracting transfer interest. Several high-profile members of the squad have been linked with moves elsewhere following the club’s difficult season, despite ultimately avoiding relegation.
However, Tottenham are hopeful that De Zerbi’s long-term vision can persuade key players to remain. The Italian coach, who signed a five-year contract, is determined to build a competitive team for the future and convince his squad to commit to the project.
Players such as Micky van de Ven and Lucas Bergvall have also been linked with potential exits, but Tottenham remain hopeful that their core talents will stay and play an important role in the club’s rebuilding process.
