It comes ahead of a busy summer for Romero, with the Argentina international linked with an exit from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. A number of clubs are believed to be monitoring as the summer transfer window approaches.

With only two years left on his contract come the summer, Tottenham may face a difficult decision regarding Romero's future amid interest from Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. Last month, Romero revealed that he wants to play in La Liga during his career.

Speaking to the Argentine journalists Esteban and Gaston Edul for Los Edul, he explained his motivations and career plan. "I try, above all things, to always live day to day," Romero said, his words translated into English from Spanish.

"There are almost two months left of the season, and I want to perform at my best and try to finish it in the best way possible. We are in the semi-final of the , which is an important step for the club after so many years that it has not reached this stage.

"After that, we'll see. In the end, I would like to win it, but it depends on many things.

"The truth is that I have not spoken with my agent yet, but I am willing to do anything. My focus is always on growing and looking for new places to continue developing, but I don't want to talk about that yet because there are a few months left to finish the season."

Asked which leagues he has yet to play in that he would like to, Romero acknowledged: "La Liga is a league I would love to play in and need to play in because it is the league that I would lack [to play in all the major leagues]."
