Tottenham had made a sensational start to the Australian coach’s era, winning eight of their opening 10 Premier League games to set the early pace in the title race.
According to Sport, Tottenham will push to sign Raphinha in January amid a desire to freshen up their attacking firepower.
Barcelona splashed £55million to sign Raphinha from Leeds United in the summer of 2022. He has registered 12 goals and 15 assists in 61 appearances for the Blaugrana.
Tottenham are said to be unwilling to match that asking price, though, but Raphinha is a long-term target, and he has made just three La Liga starts this season.
Romero made his season-long loan from Atalanta permanent in a £47m deal in the same summer Raphinha swapped Elland Road for the Nou Camp.
But Tottenham will reportedly offer a significant sum of money on top of a player to tempt Barcelona to offload Raphinha.
It remains to be seen whether the Catalan giants would be interested in recruiting Romero as part of an agreement.
