Questions about the dedication of Tottenham players are mounting. While the Spurs face a critical Premier League survival showdown against Everton, their club captain Cristian Romero will be absent from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this Sunday. The man nicknamed Cuti has traveled 7,000 kilometers away from London. The Tottenham center-back is set to attend the final of the Argentinian Apertura championship at the Mario Alberto Kempes stadium in Córdoba. His former club, Belgrano, is competing in a landmark final against River Plate.

Is a summer transfer looming?

This decision appears to confirm the deepening rift between the London outfit and their captain. Having been sidelined by a knee injury for over a month, the Argentinian defender is widely expected to leave the club. Romero, who arrived in the English capital in 2022 from Atalanta, is rumored to be a target for FC Barcelona this summer.

In terms of professional integrity, what would Roberto De Zerbi have to say? The manager is known for his firm views on such matters.
