“Sky Sports: Tottenham Likely to Start New Contract Negotiations with ‘Exceptional’ Player”
Tottenham Hotspur have strengthened their squad with five new signings during the summer transfer window.
One of Tottenham’s summer signings will not join the squad until January.
Yang Min-hyeok has returned to Gangwon FC for the remainder of their season.
Meanwhile, Ange Postecoglou has benefitted from Johan Lange’s additions, including players like Archie Gray and Dominic Solanke.
Another summer signing, Wilson Odobert, made a strong impression on his Tottenham debut, which left Heung-min Son particularly impressed.
Alongside these promising new arrivals, Cristian Romero also delivered an outstanding performance.
His efforts, coupled with growing interest in his services, suggest that plans are underway concerning the Argentina international.
Real Madrid has expressed interest in Romero, a key player now entering the final year of his contract with Tottenham.
Discussions are underway to extend Heung-min Son’s deal, but concerns remain about Romero’s future.
Sky Sports journalist Michael Bridge believes that Tottenham will soon address Romero’s situation.
Speaking on the Last Word on Spurs, Bridge praised Romero for his performance in what was his 100th appearance for Spurs, highlighting his contribution to the team.
Bridge noted, “It wouldn’t surprise me if Spurs sit down with Cristian Romero during the season.
He’s an immense defender. He’s not as erratic with cards as he was before Postecoglou, but I’d like to see him become more of a leader at times.
Romero is a top defender and is bound to attract interest as time goes on.”
Tottenham’s central defensive pairing of Micky van de Ven and Romero is highly regarded, with many top European clubs envious of their partnership.
Real Madrid, in particular, may look to disrupt this duo by pursuing Romero in upcoming transfer windows.
To retain Romero or at least protect their asset, Tottenham will need to act decisively.
Romero has three years left on his current contract and has already achieved significant success, including two Copa Americas and a World Cup.
For Romero, winning club trophies is now a key goal, and Tottenham will need to secure silverware to ensure he remains committed to the club.
