Cristian Romero, Tottenham Hotspur's captain, is reportedly set to leave the club this summer, attracting interest from fierce London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea. Italian reports indicate both Mikel Arteta's and Xabi Alonso's sides are among the contenders for the 28-year-old Argentine defender. Tottenham's recent acquisitions of central defenders Marco Senesi and Jan Paul van Hecke further suggest Romero's impending departure.

Inter Milan remains a strong suitor, offering Romero a significant role and UEFA Champions League football, potentially reuniting him with Argentina teammate Lautaro Martinez. Arsenal seeks a new central defender due to William Saliba's injury, while Chelsea, despite signing Maxence Lacroix, also aims to bolster their defense. Other clubs like Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have also shown interest. Romero's future at Spurs became uncertain after fan criticism last season, and Inter's sporting director has confirmed their pursuit. Tottenham reportedly values Romero at £25.9m.
