Tottenham defenders Radu Dragusin and Cristian Romero agree summer exits
Tottenham Hotspur defenders Radu Dragusin and Cristian Romero are poised to leave the relegation-threatened club this summer amid a major impending squad overhaul.
The north London club are currently enduring a torrid 2026 campaign and sit perilously in the Premier League’s bottom three.
Their desperate search for a first victory of the calendar year continues following a heartbreaking 95th-minute equaliser against Brighton on Saturday.
This precarious league position has accelerated plans for a significant defensive restructure at the end of the season.
Dragusin and Romero seek new challenges
Reports from Romania indicate that Dragusin has instructed his representative, Florin Manea, to open negotiations with interested suitors.
The 24-year-old centre-back has struggled for regular playing time, making just nine appearances throughout the current campaign.
Clubs in Italy and Germany are reportedly monitoring the situation, with Fiorentina, Roma, AC Milan, and RB Leipzig all linked to the Romanian international.
His departure is expected to be followed by the high-profile exit of defensive partner Cristian Romero.
Speaking on the Market Madness podcast, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the Argentine World Cup winner is heavily coveted.
“What I can tell you is that there is a feeling around all people involved in this story, on player’s side, and then on club side, it is probably going to be time for Cuti Romero to leave in the summer transfer window.”
“There is interest from Europe, and also from abroad, but it depends on the price.”
Goalkeeper exit and potential reinforcements
The sweeping changes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium are also set to include the departure of goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.
Spurs have reportedly given the green light for the Italian shot-stopper to join Inter Milan, with a basic agreement already in place.
In an attempt to plug these impending defensive gaps, the struggling hierarchy have lined up two experienced Premier League replacements.
An agreement has been reached to sign veteran full-back Andy Robertson on a free transfer.
Meanwhile, advanced talks are underway to secure Bournemouth centre-half Marcos Senesi upon the expiration of his contract.
However, both prospective arrivals are strictly contingent on the Lilywhites avoiding relegation to the Championship this May.
