Tottenham fans react to ‘false’ rumours Cristian Romero transfer has been agreed
Tottenham supporters are all saying the same thing about Cristian Romero amid fresh transfer reports linking him with a move away from North London.
Tottenham Hotspur are the champions of Europe thanks to their impressive Europa League campaign last season, where they won the competition after beating Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao, Spain.
At the heart of their remarkable run to the final was Cristian Romero, who was named player of the tournament after several standout displays in the competition, which included a clean sheet in the final.
Romero is a leader and the vice-captain at Tottenham, making him a key member of the squad and one the Lilywhites would be desperate to keep hold of heading into the 2025/26 season.
Tottenham fans react as reports of Atletico Madrid’s deal for Cristian Romero are rubbished
While Tottenham are reported to be looking to hand Cristian Romero a new contract, as they hope he can commit his future to the club, Atletico Madrid continue to circle, looking to poach the Argentine centre-back.
It was reported just yesterday that talks between Atletico and Spurs had progressed, and Tottenham had accepted an offer for Romero worth an initial €55m (£47m) plus €10m (£8.5m) in add–ons.
However, those claims have since been rubbished by Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge, who said in a post on X: “Told reports from Argentina media that Spurs have agreed a fee with Atletico Madrid for Cristian Romero are not true.”
Spurs fans have since shared their reaction on social media, with many of them echoing the same sentiment about the latest reports, as they remain hopeful that they can keep hold of their key centre-back.
One fan said: “The numbers did not make sense when you consider what other centre-backs are going for, some with even less time left on their contracts and half the player Romero is in terms of quality.”
Another fan added: “What was the fee? It would tell a lot about the legitimacy of the report.” One more commented: “£55m was never anywhere near enough anyway. £85m and we can talk.”
A fan stated: “Jesus Bridgey, you gave me a heart attack until I read the end bit. He needs to be kept and made captain in my opinion.”
Another was quick to state the preferred fee he wants the centre-back to leave for: “If he needs to go, no less than £80m is acceptable.” One fan urged: “Good. Please stay Cuti. We need you!”
Tottenham are working hard to keep Cristian Romero
Of course, given how important Cristian Romero is to Tottenham, the Lilywhites must keep hold of the centre-back.
It was reported by Fabrizio Romano that Daniel Levy and the club hierarchy are looking to show ambition this summer, and as part of that plan, Spurs are determined to not to sell Romero rather than cash in on the Argentine defender.
At the moment, his future remains up in the air, but for fans of Spurs, they will be hoping Romero signs a new deal with Tottenham and continues to be a cornerstone in this new era under Thomas Frank.
