Tottenham are ready to sell the big-name player after getting the green light at a 50% discount.

Tottenham have given the green light for the big-name player to leave this summer for around half of what they were asking for last year, according to reports.

Tottenham climb out of the relegation zone after an important win at Aston Villa

Spurs gave themselves a huge boost for survival after a huge 2-1 away win at Aston Villa on Sunday.

It was a result that lifted them out of the relegation zone and restored much-needed belief in the team after struggling.

Form in recent weeks has been a big problem.

Spurs have been struggling for consistency before Roberto De Zerbi, winning zero Premier League in 2026 and getting into real trouble near the bottom of the table.

De Zerbi guided them to their first league win of the calendar year against Wolves last weekend, but their poor form made that victory at Villa Park all the more important.

It wasn’t just about the three points, it was about showing resilience under pressure and responding when it mattered most.

West Ham’s 3-0 thrashing of Brentford means Spurs’ future is back in their own hands after the Lilywhites’ big game last week, but it’s not over yet.

While the focus remains on survival, summer planning is already underway, and one of the biggest talking points involves Cristian Romero’s future.

Cristian Romero is ‘top of the sales list’ as the exit of the green Tottenham

According to a report from The Boy Hotspur, Romero is no longer considered ‘untouchable’ and is now ‘high on the sales list’ come June.

The report suggests that Tottenham have significantly lowered their expectations of a potential fee, with the defender now valued at £56 million rather than a figure previously discussed at over £100 million last year (The Independent).

That change represents a major change in the situation.

Not long ago, the 28-year-old was considered one of the club’s key assets, with suggestions that only a big offer was being considered.

Previous claims have put his price into nine figures, reflecting his status as a World Cup-winning defender and one of Spurs’ key players.

Now, the situation seems different.

Financial pressure and the current state of the club may have played a role.

Missing out on European football and spending most of the season struggling near the bottom has created a need to re-evaluate priorities. Selling a high-value player can help balance the books and fund an extensive rebuild.

Romero’s importance on the pitch has never really been in doubt.

When available, he was the centerpiece of Tottenham’s defence, bringing aggression, leadership and a wealth of experience. However, injuries, inconsistency and a tendency to get suspended meant that Spurs could not rely on him all the time.

If the reported valuation is accurate, it can attract strong interest.

A fee in the region of £56 million is more accessible to Europe’s top clubs compared to the previous £100 million-plus range.

That opens the door to serious offers, especially for sides looking to strengthen defensively at the highest level, with Real and Atlético Madrid named as concrete suitors.

Selling Romero would be a big decision, not only financially but also in terms of leadership and quality in the team. Replacing a player of his caliber would not be easy, especially if they go down.

For now, however, the priority is still on the field.

Victory over Villa, their second three points on the bounce, gave Tottenham a platform, but there is still work to be done to secure their Premier League status.

Off the field, Romero’s condition must be closely monitored.
