Tottenham fans react to big Cristian Romero news as Atletico Madrid circle
Tottenham Hotspur fans have been left divided as reports emerge linking Cristian Romero with a summer move to Atletico Madrid. Some are open to the Argentine’s departure, while others see it as another step backwards for the club.
The Spurs vice-captain enters the final two years of his contract in June, and Tottenham are said to be keen on securing Romero’s long-term future with a lucrative new deal.
It has been reported that Cristian Romero is at the top of Atletico Madrid’s wishlist for centre-back targets this summer.
However, the centre-back has yet to commit, reportedly stalling on a decision. Fresh reports now suggest that he is interested in a move away from Tottenham this summer, with his sights set on Champions League football.
Tottenham Hotspur fans react to Cristian Romero transfer links
Following the latest developments, Spurs fans have taken to social media to voice their opinions. The reaction has been mixed, with some eager to cash in, while others fear the consequences of losing such a key player.
One fan posted: “Romero + Bentancur double deal for £100m combined.”
Another added: “The difference he makes when we play is night and day. Danso is decent, but in the current system, Romero is far more important. If/when Ange is sacked, hopefully, we don’t have another manager who relies solely on the CBs to get the ball out.”
A more pragmatic supporter suggested: “Offer him a new deal on £200k a week, put in a release clause of, say, £90m. But if he has no intention of staying, then sell him for £75m in the summer. It’s a World Cup at the end of next season anyway, so the odds of him being injured for the last few months of the season are pretty high.”
Another fan stated: “We’re only decent when he plays, as big a loss as Kane, but people aren’t ready for that conversation yet.”
One simply said: “Makes sense, hopefully the club can get a good fee for him. Should be well above the £70m mark.”
Spurs’ ongoing struggle to retain top talent
Whether you’re backing Romero to stay or not, this latest rumour highlights a much bigger problem at Spurs. A club that wants to grow and compete at the highest level has to keep hold of its best players.
Losing Harry Kane last summer was a major blow, and now Romero’s potential exit threatens to further dismantle the spine of the team.
The reality is, when Tottenham Hotspur sell key players, the replacements are rarely up to standard. We’ve seen it time and time again. The club isn’t progressing, and that’s becoming painfully clear.
