Tottenham duo Cristian Romero and Richarlison had given ultimatums regarding their respective futures.

The Argentina and Brazil internationals did not want to play under coach Antonio Conte.

Argentine journalist Gaston Edul has now claimed that both Romero and Richarlison were ready to leave in the summer.

Edul told Argentine TV channel TyC Sports: “Conte's relationship with the squad was very bad, it's needless to say, it's something that we could see in his words.

“Some players had given an ultimatum in case he continued. Now the outlook of Tottenham changed."

He added: “Yes, I say that because we can say it, in fact we waited to say it. Cristian Romero was rethinking about his stay at the club if Conte remained. As I understand it, the same thing happened with Richarlison.

“Because he treated them very badly, not only face to face or in a private environment but also publicly. Conte publicly criticized the players and that caused friction. But now Romero is going to stay at Tottenham, that's the plan."
