The 32-year-old has been at Tottenham since 2012, playing over 300 games across all competitions.
Vertonghen’s agent claimed signing a new deal isn’t ruled out for the Spurs star, but he is already free to talk to other clubs ahead of a free transfer in the summer.
After Toby Alderweireld signed a new deal last December, Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho said he wanted his Belgian counterpart to follow suit, but hinted that his agent wasn’t helping matters.
Vertonghen is no longer a guaranteed starter at the club, with the emergence of Japhet Tanganga and Eric Dier’s return to defence both limiting his playing chances.
He continues to provide quality experience and cover, though, and it will be interesting to see if he will sign that deal and force his way back to Mourinho’s starting XI.
