The Lithuanian has told Russian state newsagency RIA Novosti that he is seeking buyers for Hearts, FBK Kaunas and Belarusian club Partizan Minsk.
Russian-born Romanov is now keen to end his ties with Hearts - who he bought in 2005.
"I want to leave football. I have given the order to find buyers for all my clubs," Romanov said.
