Ahead of Tottenham’s clash against Aston Villa on 3rd November, the North London club sits in 10th place, having played nine Premier League games. While they have maintained a strong Europa record, star defender Cristian Romero has drawn significant interest from European giants. Both Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are eager to secure the Argentine’s signature, with Bayern especially keen on strengthening their defensive line with his talents.
Since making his permanent move from Atalanta in 2022, Cristian Romero has become an essential figure in Tottenham’s backline. Playing 109 games for the Lilywhites, he’s proven his value with consistently impressive defensive performances, showing exceptional tackling and tracking back abilities. His impact is recognised with a substantial weekly wage of £165,000, a reflection of his importance to the club as he is indeed the third highest earner in the club.
The Argentine remains uncertain about his future
Tottenham are reportedly keen to secure Cristian Romero on a lucrative new contract to fend off interest from top European clubs. Talks have been underway for some time, aiming to reassure the £100 million-rated defender about his future at the club. Meanwhile, according to TBR, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Inter Milan are all closely monitoring Romero’s situation, as the Argentine has privately expressed some concerns over staying long-term in north London.
Romero desires consistent Champions League football, a factor he’s shared with Tottenham as contract talks progress. This gap in European competition remains a key issue for him, complicating Spurs’ efforts to secure his commitment. Bayern Munich, unlike Tottenham, could offer Romero regular Champions League action, though it’s uncertain if the German giants would meet the £100 million valuation for the highly-rated centre-back.
