Tottenham Captain Cristian Romero Pens New Contract With The Club

‎Tottenham Hotspur captain, Cristian Romero has agreed a long-term deal with the club this week, despite ongoing links to several top European clubs.

‎Romero had two years remaining on his previous contract, which ran until June 2027, but has now committed to Spurs until 2029.

‎This followed widespread fan belief that he would be sold to Atlético Madrid this summer in the wake of Ange Postecoglou’s dismissal after last season’s Europa League final.

‎The 27-year-old has made 126 appearances for the North London club to date, scoring eight goals. Supporters have reacted with delight on social media, with the Argentina international regarded as one of the club’s best players, and a departure would have been devastating.

‎The club confirmed the deal on their website, just hours after the news that they had also tied down Djed Spence to a new long-term deal.

‎“We are delighted to announce that Cristian Romero has signed a new, long-term contract with the Club.

‎“Having initially joined the Club on a season-long loan from Serie A side Atalanta in August 2021, the Argentina international signed permanently the following year.

‎“Captain for the final four matches of our run to European glory last term, ‘Cuti’ played a vital role in our UEFA Europa League success and claimed the competition’s Player of the Season award.

‎“He was named Player of the Match in the Final, while he also earned a place in the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League Team of the Season alongside team-mates Guglielmo Vicario, Pedro Porro, and Dominic Solanke.”

‎Tottenham captain Cristian Romero is the backbone of Spurs’ defence, with manager Thomas Frank praising him as “very, very committed” to the club.

‎Widely regarded as one of the Premier League’s most accomplished centre-backs, he brings both quality and leadership.

‎With Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Spence all tied down, Tottenham look well set at the back for the future.
