His central defender Tottenham, Christian Romerowould leave the London team in the summer at the end of the current season. Radu Drăgușin (24 years old) could benefit from the captain's departure from Spurs.
The 27-year-old Argentine has informed the team management of his intention to leave the club in the summer transfer window.
Romero's departure is set, regardless of the results in the last part of the season, according to sportal.bg, citing The Telegraph.
Cristian Romero would be the first departure of the summer from Tottenham
The management of Tottenham had already planned to reshuffle the squad before next season, and Romero could be the first important transfer to bring money to the club, writes the quoted source.
The Argentine joined Tottenham in 2022 from Atalanta for €52 million. This season, the defender played 28 matches, in which he scored 6 goals and provided 4 decisive assists.

Is Radu Drăgușin taking advantage?
Radu Drăgușin, a direct competitor for the team captain position, could benefit from Romero's departure. The Romanian stopper was signed by Spurs two years ago and was the third option at centre-back while he was fit, after Van de Ven and Romero.
With the departure of the Argentine, the Romanian international would have a better chance of becoming a regular starter in the London formation. This season, after returning to the field, Radu has played 7 games in the Premier League.
He has played in 5 of Tottenham's last 6 league games, taking advantage of Romero's lengthy suspension following his red card against Manchester United. Drăgușin has started 4 times in the Premier League since the beginning of February.
