Interest from Spain and another undisclosed league has been noted, with a formal offer reportedly close during the recent winter transfer window. Real Madrid had previously shown interest in Romero and was reportedly prepared to offer around £69.4 million, though this bid did not proceed at the time. Current indications strongly suggest Spain as Romero's likely next destination.

Potential Replacements for Tottenham

The article also speculates about potential replacements should Romero depart. Luka Vuskovic, an 18-year-old talent currently on loan at Hamburg, is highlighted.

Vuskovic's performance at Hamburg, including scoring a Bundesliga goal, has been noted as significant development into a promising centre-back.

It is suggested that Vuskovic, along with other promising centre-backs like Kota Takai and Ashley Phillips, could potentially step up for Tottenham, potentially eliminating the need for further transfer market spending.
