There is a player who has started preparing to leave Tottenham even before the summer transfer market opens.
Spain's leading reporter Matteo Moreto reported on his personal SNS on the 27th (Korea time) that `Christian Romero has already agreed to transfer to Atletico Madrid.'
Spain's Lelebo said 'Atletico are most interested in strengthening their defense. It's not an easy deal as Tottenham are demanding a very high transfer fee, but Romero has already sent his acceptance to Atletico. 'We will wait until the end of the season to see if contact between the two clubs will be made positively.'"

Tottenham has recently been talking about the possibility of Romero's transfer. Romero drew more attention by expressing his willingness to transfer through an interview in person. Romero was interviewed by Gaston Edul, a reporter from Argentina's TyC Sports, who was familiar with the news of Argentina, in which he said "I always want to grow and continue new challenges in a new environment. I've never played in Spain. If you want to compete in a strong league, you also need La Liga experience."
Spanish clubs' interest in Romero is also evident. Real Madrid tried to recruit him last summer, and Atletico Madrid wants to recruit Romero ahead of the summer transfer market. It was also reported that Diego Simeone had already made a call to recruit Romero.
For Tottenham, Romero's move is a painful departure. Romero has been a key defender since joining Tottenham in 2021. Starting in the 2023-2024 season, he began to play under coach Enze Postecoglou and showed better performance. With active defense and cover, he firmly defended Tottenham's rear. Tottenham cannot guarantee that Romero will be able to fill the void if he leaves. However, Romero has agreed to move to Atletico, and Tottenham is expected to have no choice but to negotiate with Atletico this coming summer.

Meanwhile, in addition to Romero, Tottenham continues to raise the possibility of a large number of key players leaving ahead of the summer transfer market. Dejan Kulusevski, who is considered the next ace for Tottenham, is attracting attention from Serie A clubs such as Napoli and AC Milan led by former teacher Antonio Conte. Rodrigo Bentancur has emerged as a transfer candidate for Atletico, while Destiny Udo and Pedro Porro are mentioned as Manchester City and Mickey van der Pen as Real Madrid.
