Amid the growing possibility of Son Heung-min's transfer, the candidate who can become the new captain is approaching to stay at Tottenham.
Britain's Tottenham Hotspur News reported in an exclusive report on the 7th (Korea Standard Time) that `Romero is expected to remain at Tottenham.'
Tottenham Hotspur News reported 'Romero was rumored to be transferred to Atletico. However, he is expected to stay at Tottenham this summer. Chairman Daniel Levy asked for a large sum of money for Romero's transfer. John Wenham said he believed the Romero transfer fee demand would eventually make him give up on the move.
John Wenham, who is familiar with Tottenham's internal news, said "I don't think any club is willing to pay as much as Romero is worth. Chairman Daniel Levy wants £80 million."

Tottenham has a wind of major change this summer. Enze Postecoglou will leave the team and Thomas Frank will take over to reorganize the squad. Son Heung-min is expected to leave in the process. Son Heung-min was previously expected to leave Tottenham from last summer, but his contract was extended until summer 2026 after Tottenham launched a one-year extension option in January.
With Tottenham and Son Heung-min's contract about to expire a year ago, attention from the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Turkiye turned to Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min is also reportedly considering various proposals this summer. However, it is unlikely that a decision will be made immediately. It is widely expected that the decision on the future will be made after completing the visit to Korea in August.

In this situation, there is a growing possibility that a player who can replace Son Heung-min's captaincy will stay at Tottenham. It's Romero. Romero, who moved to Tottenham in 2021, has been playing the main role at Tottenham since joining the team. In the 2023-2024 season, coach Enze Postecoglou has shown a stronger position since his appointment. Romero, who began playing in Postecoglou's tactics, began to play properly. Based on his aggressive defense ability, he pressured his opponent from the front and showed a stable defense from the back. Romero was still at the core of the team this season.
Romero was initially likely to leave Tottenham this summer. Rumors of a transfer have been raised throughout this season. He is also on the phone with Atlético manager Diego Simeone, and is said to strongly want a transfer. Tottenham's Europa League victory seemed to change the situation, but the replacement of Postecoglou has raised the prospect that the situation could tilt back to the transfer. However, it is unlikely that Romero's transfer will be completed this summer, with Tottenham demanding a large transfer fee. Along with Romero's remaining and Son Heung-min's possible departure, attention is being paid to how Tottenham's captain's team will be formed next season.
