Exclusive: Cristian Romero’s Stance on Signing a New Tottenham Contract as Club Initiates Talks

Cristian Romero’s impressive performances for Tottenham, particularly alongside Micky van de Ven, have caught significant attention, both domestically and internationally.

The Argentine centre-back, who has also shone for his national team, may return from injury to face Bournemouth in midweek—a boost for Spurs as they push to secure his long-term future.

TBR Football reports that Tottenham have initiated discussions with Romero’s representatives to extend his contract.

While his current deal runs until 2027, the club is eager to solidify his position and has accelerated negotiations.

Spurs are reportedly prepared to make the 26-year-old their highest earner, reflecting his emergence as one of the Premier League’s elite defenders since joining from Atalanta in 2021.

Despite Tottenham’s ambitions, Romero’s camp is weighing their options.

A key factor for the Argentine is playing regular Champions League football, a stage he has only experienced seven times with Spurs—matching his appearances for Atalanta before leaving the Serie A side.

Romero’s potential suitors include some of Europe’s biggest clubs. Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Inter Milan are all monitoring his situation closely, highlighting his growing reputation.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has praised Romero’s importance to the team, making it clear that both he and the club are keen to retain him.

However, Spurs’ current league position casts doubt on their ability to secure Champions League qualification for next season, a factor that could heavily influence Romero’s decision.

As Tottenham look to start formal contract talks early next year, convincing Romero to commit long-term may depend on both financial incentives and the club’s ability to meet his ambitions on the European stage.

Losing a player of his caliber would be a significant blow to their aspirations.
