The BBC reported on the 16th (Korea time) 'Tottenham captain Romero was closely related to the transfer to Atletico Madrid (Spain) in the summer transfer market. Nevertheless, he said he was very happy to play for Tottenham and said he didn't want to leave.

Tottenham had two big changes ahead of the 2025-2026 season. Coach Enze Postecoglou left and Thomas Frank took the helm. Son Heung-min, who has been at the center of Tottenham for the past decade, also left for the U.S. stage in LA FC's uniform. Son Heung-min joined Tottenham through a transfer window in the summer of 2015. He played from 2024 to 2025 and scored 173 goals in 454 games. As a captain, he lifted the trophy in the Europa League (UEL) in the 2024-2025 season.




BBC criticised the team's lack of investment last season. After Postecoglou left, he posted a secret message. However, Frank appointed Romero as the new captain. He said he would stay with the team until 2029 after renewing his four-year contract. Romero joined Tottenham on loan from Atalanta (Italy) in August 2021. The following summer, he completely transferred and played as a main player.
