Following Christian Romero, James Madison also raised the possibility of escaping Tottenham.
England's 'TeamTalk' reported on the 22nd (Korea Standard Time) that 'Tottenham was warned why Madison might leave the team in the summer transfer market after a very disappointing domestic season.
Tottenham were eliminated in both the Carabao Cup (League Cup) and the FA Cup last month. In the English Premier League (EPL), it has dropped to 14th place with one draw and two losses in its last three games.
The only hope is the Europa League. Tottenham will meet Frankfurt (Germany) in the quarterfinals next month. If he wins the Europa League, he will win a ticket to the European Champions League next season. On the other hand, if he fails to reach the top, his participation in the European competition will be wiped out.
Madison has scored 11 goals and seven assists in 38 appearances in all tournaments this season. However, he failed to secure a built-in main position by repeating his injuries and standing.

There is also a suggestion that 'Immortal' with director Enze Postecoglou. He moved to Tottenham in the summer of 2023 when Harry Kane left for Bayern Munich. The transfer fee was 40 million pounds (about 76 billion won), and the contract period was five years.
He was appointed as vice-captain along with Romero in the first season and is assisting Son Heung-min 'Captain'. But it is a fault that there are many ups and downs. Tottenham's lackluster performance, he also cannot escape criticism. Madison recently clashed head-to-head with Manchester United legend Roy Keane. That's why there's a possibility of separation.
'TeamTalk' despite all the accusations against Madison, he actually achieved a decent level of performance. Tottenham native Paul Robinson said he was concerned Maddison could leave the club in the summer if he failed to play in the European tournament.
Robinson told the Tottenham News"I'm not sure if Madison will fit in well with Postecoglou's system considering the way he is coming in and out of the rotation this season. If Madison goes out in good health, it works in big games such as Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, and European competitions. So it could be even more frustrating," he said.

And "I don't think Tottenham will have a problem catching him. We can reject his offer to recruit him. But it depends on the player's desire for what he wants and where he wants to be`"Without European football, Tottenham is a hit in terms of player retention and a hit in terms of recruitment.'
Tottenham's Gary Lineker also recently raised questions about the possibility of a problem between Postecoglou and Madison. He added "Madison was put in late on the bench again. But when he appeared, he always played a role, and he played really good football. I'm a little puzzled about what's going on this season. Were there some conflicts?" he said, blurring his words.
It's not just Madison. Tottenham is also preparing a 'last notice' for the 'Walkl' center back Romero, who has returned from injury. Before the summer transfer market opened this season, Romero decided to sell if he did not sign a new contract.
The problem is that Romero is sour. He is aiming to play in the European Champions League steadily, but it is not easy at Tottenham. Spanish giants Real Madrid are aiming for Romero. ESPN Argentina already had 'Real Madrid interested in Romero in June last year. Romer also said he believes it is time to leave Tottenham.

Romero's contract runs through June 2027. Tottenham's plan is to hurry to hold Romero on a long-term contract as it enters its last two years after the end of this season.
If he signs a new contract, he also promises the highest treatment beyond Son Heung-min. It is expected to soar from the current weekly wage of 165,000 pounds (about 311 million won) to 200,000 pounds (about 377 million won). Currently, Son Heung-min, who is known to receive 190,000 pounds (about 358 million won), is the best player at Tottenham.
Tottenham must pay a proper transfer fee if Romero refuses to renew his contract. This summer's transfer market is the Maginot Line.
