"He signed an improved deal in the summer, and it's made a big difference to his wage packet. He's one of the highest-paid players at Tottenham, so it won't be cheap to get him out. If Atletico think he's going to walk out, they'll have to think again. He'd cost 60-70m. The fact that he's Argentinian and Diego Simeone's Argentinian will have nothing to do with it."
"Tottenham managed to hold on to Cristian Romero in the summer, but there could be chances for him to leave in 2026. The defender attracted significant interest from Atletico Madrid, who still harbour hopes of bringing him to the Spanish capital alongside a number of his Argentine teammates. Romero committed his future to Tottenham by penning a new contract in the face of Atleti's interest."
Tottenham retained Cristian Romero in the summer when he signed an improved contract that increased his wages and made him one of the club's highest-paid players. Atletico Madrid showed strong interest and remain hopeful of signing him, particularly given the Argentinian link with Diego Simeone and other compatriots. Tottenham may be open to a sale in 2026 if a bid around £60–70m arrives, but there is no strong desire to sell. Former scout Bryan King indicated the fee would need to be substantial and that Spurs would resist unless a 'crazy offer' appears. Romero's departure would represent a major loss given his consistent top performances.
