Italian transfer journalist Gianluca Di Marzio believes Dejan Kulusevski will stay at Tottenham next season, even if Spurs get relegated to the Championship. He told a Swedish outlet that the Swede has “the right mentality” and could be a key player in manager Roberto De Zerbi’s project, regardless of the division. Di Marzio noted that De Zerbi likes him and sees him as a good example for the squad.
Tottenham are in serious relegation trouble in the 2025/26 Premier League season. As of mid-April 2026, they sit near the bottom of the table (around 17th-18th place with roughly six games left), fighting to avoid the drop.
Kulusevski has not played a single minute this season. He suffered a serious right knee (patella) injury in May 2025 against Crystal Palace and has been sidelined for nearly a full year. He underwent initial surgery and a follow-up minor procedure (arthroscopy) in March 2026 to clean up the knee. He recently reassured fans that his “knee is great now” after the latest intervention, but there’s still no firm return date—likely pointing toward a summer 2026 comeback.
