Former Tottenham employee claims Levy will offer star player a £200k-a-week contract amid transfer exit speculation.

Cristian Romero recently made his return to action after a lengthy injury layoff, featuring in Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-2 Premier League draw against Bournemouth at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on March 9.

However, following his comeback, the Argentine defender appeared to take a subtle dig at the club’s medical staff, raising questions about his long-term future in North London.

Reports suggest that Real Madrid are closely monitoring Romero’s situation, potentially eyeing a move for the 26-year-old.

Amid this uncertainty, Tottenham seem prepared to go all out in their efforts to secure his commitment, with an ultimatum reportedly being considered.

Tottenham’s Contract Offer to Romero

According to GiveMeSport (March 17), Spurs are keen to extend Romero’s stay by offering him a new contract.

However, the World Cup-winning centre-back is reportedly hesitant about committing his future to the club.

As a result, Tottenham are prepared to sell Romero if he does not agree to a new deal before the summer transfer window opens.

The club appears determined not to lose him on unfavorable terms and could be willing to offer a significant salary increase to persuade him.

Former Spurs scout Bryan King, speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, has suggested that Tottenham could offer Romero wages of up to £200,000 per week to convince him to stay.

“Spurs will need to offer Romero the kind of money that Son Heung-min is on,” King explained.

“I expect Tottenham to make an offer in the region of £200,000 per week.

Romero is a World Cup winner, and while he can be a bit of a loose cannon, he is undoubtedly a world-class defender.

On his day, he is as good as any centre-back in the country.”

King also acknowledged concerns over Romero’s consistency and injury history. “The biggest issue with Romero is his reliability,” he added.

“But if Spurs are willing to extend his contract, he will be handsomely paid—there’s no doubt about that.”

Should Tottenham Cash In on Romero?

While retaining Romero would undoubtedly strengthen Tottenham’s defense, the club could also benefit financially from selling him.

If the defender is reluctant to remain at Spurs, this summer might be the ideal time to cash in.

With two years left on his contract, his market value remains high, but it will only decline if the club delays a decision.

Rather than convincing an uncertain player to stay, Tottenham may be wiser to sell Romero and reinvest the funds in a committed, long-term defensive option.
