James Maddison reacts to Cristian Romero’s update from Tottenham training ground
Tottenham defender Cristian Romero posted a new update from the training ground amid speculation around his future.
Tottenham’s summer has been anything but quiet, with Thomas Frank stepping in to lead a new chapter in north London following Ange Postecoglou’s departure.
While Mohammed Kudus has already joined Tottenham in one of their headline signings, there have also been concerns about potential outgoings, and Romero’s name has been at the centre of it.
As reported by Football Insider, both Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid have expressed interest in Romero as they look to strengthen their backlines.
However, fresh reports indicate a move to Spain is now unlikely, with Spurs instead preparing to offer Romero a new long-term contract.
Now back in pre-season training, the Argentine appears focused as ever as he posted an update from the training ground, a reminder of his commitment as speculation over his future continues to swirl.
Tottenham stars react to Cristian Romero training update amid exit speculation
Romero shared a series of photos from Tottenham’s latest training session following their 2-0 pre-season victory over Reading.
In one of the images, the Argentine defender was pictured alongside Rodrigo Bentancur, another player whose future at Spurs is uncertain.
Several teammates responded to the post, with James Maddison, Yves Bissouma, and Pedro Porro among those liking the update.
Despite the positive interactions, talk of a possible departure hasn’t gone away. Reports have suggested there is still an expectation he could move on before the window closes. However, Tottenham have reportedly set a £60 million price tag on Romero, which may have cooled interest from Atletico Madrid.
The club are already thought to be lining up potential replacements should the Argentine depart, with Maxime Esteve linked to Tottenham in a potential summer move following his impressive season at Burnley.
Richarlison ready to quit Tottenham
While Romero’s future remains in the balance, another Spurs player who could be on the move is Richarlison.
Football Insider revealed Richarlison is open to leaving Tottenham this summer, with interest coming from the Saudi Pro League.
With Mohammed Kudus already through the door and the club still searching for an additional striker, the Brazilian may find himself slipping further down the pecking order.
Everton had previously expressed interest in re-signing Richarlison, but their recent move for Thierno Barry could shift their focus. Whether they return for for him later in the window remains to be seen.
