There is no hope that he will recover by the end of the season, and his qualification for the World Cup is in jeopardy.<\/p>\n<p>    It&#8217;s a cruel end to his lilywhite career. Even if Tottenham avoid relegation this term, Romero is expected to leave on a free transfer this summer. <em>holiday <\/em>And his camp is hoping for an opportunity to look for a new challenge at the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, a complete break may be best for all parties. Romero has not been the perfect captain for this struggling side, receiving multiple warnings and red cards that have hampered the London club&#8217;s bid for revival.<\/p>\n<p>Club legend Chris Waddle even declared in an interview with Football FanCast that the 2022 World Cup winner &#8220;never wanted to be at Tottenham&#8221;, possibly envisioning a future with one of Spain&#8217;s superpowers.<\/p>\n<p>Whether that claim is true is another matter. Romero may be short-tempered and erratic at times, but he is by no means calm, as he showed in tears when he was injured in the last game against Sunderland.<\/p>\n<p>There is no doubt that there will be a lot of interest in Romero&#8217;s signature this summer. He is a great defender who can also play in Spain or Italy, for example. But whether ENIC Group can find a suitor worthy of their \u00a387m valuation is another question, especially if they fall into the Championship.<\/p>\n<p>However, moves to sign a top player like Senesi have already begun. His technical quality and wide-ranging passing suggest his arrival will come at the same time as Romero&#8217;s departure, and if that&#8217;s the case, it probably wouldn&#8217;t be the worst outcome in the world for a Spurs side that has avoided the unthinkable threat of relegation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card  article article-card small  no-badge  active-content                      \" data-include-community-rating=\"false\" id=\"de-zerbi-must-upgrade-on-spurs-new-emmanuel-adebayor-solanke\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.footballfancastimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/adebayor-spurs-premier-league.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=98&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.footballfancastimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/adebayor-spurs-premier-league.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=98&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\"><label>related<\/label><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-display-card-content regular article-block\">\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"De_Zerbi_needs_to_upgrade_Spurs_new_Emmanuel_Adebayor\"><\/span>\n<p>\t\t\tDe Zerbi needs to upgrade Spurs&#8217; new Emmanuel Adebayor<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">Whether or not Spurs overcome that gap, this is sure to be an explosive summer for Roberto De Zerbi.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The adage that Premier League clubs are too good to fall is a well-worn adage, and if Tottenham Hotspur&#8217;s fears come true and they are relegated this season, it will surely be put to rest.
