Dominic Solanke and Julian Alvarez react to Romero as ‘Tottenham braced for bid’
Cristian Romero’s new post on social media has gained plenty of attention as speculation continues to grow around his future at Tottenham.
The 27-year-old’s injury issues caused a lot of frustration in North London, with the talented centre-back making just 18 Premier League starts but still managing to lead Spurs to the Europa League title.
Now, Football Insider understands that Tottenham are braced for a bid for Romero amid serious interest from Atletico Madrid this summer, even after securing Champions League football.
Having created a dynamic partnership with Micky van de Ven, at least when both are fully fit and available, it could be a huge blow for whichever manager is in charge of the 2025/26 campaign.
Despite ending the Lilywhites’ 17-year trophy drought in Bilbao, Football Insider broke the news that Daniel Levy is set to sack Ange Postecoglou over the coming days, completely splitting fans’ opinions.
While Romero is no longer at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, away on international duty, the rumours continue.

Taking to Instagram (4 June), Romero shared a reel from Argentina’s training camp, clearly happy to spend the next two weeks away with his international teammates.
Dominic Solanke was joined by Argentine duo Enzo Fernandez and Julian Alvarez in liking the post.
Thomas Frank in line to replace Ange Postecoglou this summer
Losing one of the club’s biggest and best stars would be a tricky blow for any manager, but especially so for one who might have only been appointed days or weeks before the start of the new season.
Football Insider understands that Thomas Frank is in pole position to replace Postecoglou, impressing multiple clubs in the Premier League following a standout campaign with Brentford.
The Bees finished 10th in the league table, boasting wins over Man United, Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, and even drawing against the likes of Arsenal and Man City.
Spurs, on the other hand, finished just a single spot above the relegation zone, and despite winning silverware in his second season, it appears that a decision has been made on Postecoglou’s future.
The Lilywhites suffered one of their worst-ever domestic campaigns, losing 22 of their 38 league matches, and there are only so many times that the manager can blame the high volume of injuries.
