Tottenham Open to Selling Captain Cristian Romero as Atlético Linked

Selling Romero could free funds for a summer rebuild, settling questions over the club’s leadership.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported on Tuesday that Tottenham are prepared to listen to offers for captain Cristian Romero if a suitable bid arrives, though the club has not confirmed any sale.
  • Spanish side Atlético Madrid is widely named as the leading suitor in recent coverage while Barcelona and other clubs have been mentioned as potential destinations.
  • Romero signed a long-term deal in August 2025 that runs until 2029, but reports including comments attributed to his father say a release-clause range of roughly £37.8m–£53m could allow a summer exit.
  • The defender drew fan anger after flying to Argentina during Spurs’ relegation run-in but returned to London for the final-day survival and then posted a message fans read as a possible farewell.
  • No formal bid or agreement has been reported yet and Tottenham’s decision on Romero will shape transfer plans and possible replacements as the club plans a post-crisis rebuild.
