There could be a mass exodus from Tottenham this summer transfer window, with several high-profile exits on the cards.
Spurs are ready to undertake an ambitious rebuild of the squad this summer if they stay in the Premier League, as they seek to give Roberto De Zerbi the tools he needs to get the club back up to the top end of the table.
It has been widely reported over the last few weeks that several senior players could leave Tottenham this summer, even if the club avoids relegation.
A journalist has now suggested that there could be a couple of surprising summer sales by Spurs as De Zerbi goes about making big changes to the squad.
Ben Jacobs claims Tottenham may listen to offers for four senior stars
GiveMeSport spoke to journalist Ben Jacobs, who named four senior players as ones the Lilywhites could offload this summer to raise some money.
Spurs fans will not be surprised to hear that Cristian Romero and Guglielmo Vicario are among those, but Jacobs also named Richarlison and Dominic Solanke as players who could also head out the door.
The journalist said: “My information on Cristian Romero is that he will depart even if Tottenham stay in the Premier League, or at least there’s a high likelihood of that. It would be a begrudging exit for Tottenham. I think Tottenham are resigned and almost prepared to endorse as well, certain exits, whether they go down or stay up and Vicario probably falls into a category of a mutual parting of ways.
“I can foresee a situation where Tottenham go out in the market and try and sign a new No.1 goalkeeper, and Inter Milan and Vicario is the plot line to keep an eye on there. You have older players, for example, Richarlison, or even Dom Solanke, that Tottenham might be open to offers for.”
Tottenham paid a combined £184m for those four players.
Five other senior players are also expected to exit Spurs
GiveMeSport say Ben Davies and Yves Bissouma are both expected to part ways with Tottenham when their contracts run out this June.
The outlet also asserts that Randal Kolo Muani will return to Paris Saint-Germain this summer, with Spurs not expected to sign the Frenchman permanently or extend his loan spell.
Finally, the report adds that Radu Dragusin and Pape Matar Sarr could also be put on the shop window by Tottenham.
