The drama in North London is reaching boiling point. According to reports from TBR Football and L'Equipe on Thursday, February 12, 2026, Paris Saint-Germain have officially entered the race to sign Tottenham captain Cristian "Cuti" Romero.
The 27-year-old World Cup winner has reportedly become a "top priority" for Luis Enrique’s summer rebuild, with the Parisian giants ready to test Spurs' resolve with a massive bid once the window opens.
The Breaking Point: Why Romero is "Disillusioned"
Romero’s future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has never looked more uncertain following a chaotic week for the club:
The Instagram Outburst: On February 2, Romero sparked controversy by labeling the club’s injury crisis and lack of squad depth as "disgraceful" and "unbelievable" following the close of the winter window.
The Managerial Void: The sacking of Thomas Frank yesterday (Feb 11) has reportedly deepened Romero’s desire for a move to a "winning project."
Champions League Desires: With Spurs currently 16th in the Premier League and drifting further from European football, Romero has reportedly informed his representatives that he wants to play at the highest level to prepare for the 2026 World Cup.
The PSG Plan: A New Defensive Era
PSG are looking for a long-term successor to Marquinhos (who turns 32 this summer) and have identified Romero’s aggressive, front-footed style as the perfect fit for Luis Enrique’s system.
The Bid: Rumors suggest PSG are preparing an opening offer in the region of €75m–€80m (£65m–£70m).
The Competition: PSG face stiff competition from Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, both of whom are also monitoring the Argentine's "mutinous" situation at Spurs.
The Spurs Stance: Despite the rumors, Spurs sources insist Romero is "non-negotiable." Having signed a contract extension through June 2029 just last year, the club believes they hold all the cards in any negotiation.
The Verdict: This is a classic "power struggle" between a star player and a struggling club. While Tottenham are desperate to keep their leader, the allure of PSG’s wealth and guaranteed Champions League football might prove too strong—especially given the current toxicity surrounding the Spurs board.
