Tottenham Hotspur pursues defensive reinforcements as captain Romero eyes exit

Tottenham Hotspur are active in the summer transfer market, targeting Sevilla left‑back Joaquín Oso. Oso, 23, has a €20 million release clause but Sevilla are expected to accept a lower fee. The club faces competition from Newcastle United, Fiorentina, Nottingham Forest and Fulham for his signature.

Separately, Tottenham captain Cristian Romero is reportedly looking for a move away. Barcelona are the frontrunner, with Inter Milan and Atlético Madrid also monitoring the situation. Romero, who signed a new contract until 2029, would command a substantial fee, giving Spurs a strong negotiating position. The club also continues its search for a left‑back, with Andy Robertson, Destiny Udogie and Djed Spence all in the mix.

These linked moves highlight Tottenham’s broader squad rebuild ahead of the new season.
