Tottenham Hotspur faces a pivotal moment in their Premier League survival bid this weekend, but their captain Cristian Romero will not be in the stands at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Instead, the Argentine defender will be thousands of kilometers away in Córdoba, Argentina, where Belgrano—the club that shaped his career—competes in the Apertura final against River Plate.
An uncertain future at Tottenham
Romero’s absence from the clash with Everton highlights the growing divide between the player and the London-based club. After a knee injury sidelined him for over a month, speculation about his future is intensifying. The Argentine center-back, who joined Tottenham in 2022 from Atalanta, appears poised to leave North London this summer, with Barcelona emerging as a potential destination.
Under manager Roberto De Zerbi, Tottenham’s defensive lineup faces uncertainty, especially with Romero’s future hanging in the balance. The club’s leadership must now decide whether to retain a player whose heart may already be elsewhere.
