Tottenham Hotspur center-back Cristian Romero became the focus of transfer rumors in September, with a report suggesting that Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, and Manchester United had all shown interest in him during the summer transfer window.
While Tottenham didn’t set a specific asking price, Transfermarkt valued Romero at €65 million. Despite the interest from top clubs, Spurs remained firm and made it clear they wouldn’t entertain any offers for the defender.
Additionally, TBR Football reported last week, citing sources, that Tottenham plans to meet with Cristian Romero in the coming months to discuss a new contract due to increasing interest in the Argentine defender.
The report also mentions that while Romero is happy at Spurs, he’s concerned about the club’s lack of Champions League football—a worry he has raised during discussions over the past six months.
What’s the latest on Cristian Romero’s future?
Give Me Sport reports, citing sources, that Real Madrid’s interest in Cristian Romero could be enough to convince him to delay signing a new contract with Tottenham.
This is a significant blow for the north London club, as the La Liga title contenders have been long-time admirers of the defender, with their interest confirmed during the latter stages of last season.
The report also reveals that Tottenham is willing to make Romero one of the club’s highest earners in an attempt to convince him to stay rather than make the move to Real Madrid ahead of the 2025-26 season.
