Report: Spurs are ‘distancing themselves’ from transfer speculation around key player

With reports suggesting Real Madrid are trying to sign Cristian Romero, it is thought Tottenham Hotspur are looking to quash those rumours as quickly as possible.

Cristian Romero had a superb 2023/24 season

Since arriving in England, there’s no doubt Romero has established himself as one of the best centre-halves in the Premier League.

His displays for Argentina as they won the Copa America and then the 2022 World Cup even helped him earn a reputation as one of the best in the world.

And, last season for Spurs, Romero stepped up his game and added an air of composure that we had not previously seen. Between reducing his disciplinary issues and taking on the vice-captaincy at Tottenham, the 26-year-old is flourishing this year.

It goes without saying, then, that Romero is one of the most important players in Ange Postecoglou‘s squad, and an almost indispensable figure at the club.

Tottenham have no interest in Cristian Romero speculation

However, via a report from ESPN Argentina (relayed by Mundo Albiceleste) this week, it emerged that Real Madrid hold an interest in Romero and had already contacted Spurs to discuss whether a deal could be struck.

Now, according to Football.London, Tottenham are keen to put the matter to bed and stop the rumour mill from turning when it comes to Romero.

Apparently, the Lilywhites are “distancing themselves from any such reports” suggesting Romero is involved in any kind of potential transfer discussions this summer.

Romero has previously said: “I want to have my best years here. I really like the Premier League, I really like Tottenham and I want to be here for many more years to come.”

Spurs Web Opinion

I’m not being dramatic when I say that losing Romero to Real Madrid would be disastrous for Spurs.

He is the key to our defence, and will no doubt be our permanent captain in the near future if he sticks around. It’s not surprising Madrid want him, but we cannot entertain that idea at all.
