Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero has signed a new long-term contract with the club, committing to stay until 2029 amid transfer links to other top European clubs.
Tottenham Hotspur has confirmed that captain Cristian Romero has signed a new long-term contract with the club, extending his stay until 2029.
This move comes as a significant boost to manager Thomas Frank’s plans, with Romero being a vital part of the team’s defensive lineup.
The 27-year-old Argentina international had two years remaining on his previous contract, which was set to expire in June 2027. However, Romero has now committed to Tottenham for the next four years, putting to rest speculation about his future.
Romero’s journey with Tottenham began in August 2021, when he joined the club on a season-long loan from Atalanta. He impressed so much that the club signed him permanently the following year for £47 million.
Since then, Romero has made 126 appearances for Tottenham, scoring eight times and establishing himself as one of the Premier League’s top center-backs.
The Argentina international’s success with Tottenham has been remarkable. He played a crucial role in the team’s Europa League triumph last season, winning the Player of the Season award and being named Player of the Match in the final. Romero’s defensive prowess and leadership skills have made him a fan favorite at Tottenham.
Romero’s new contract is also a vote of confidence in manager Thomas Frank’s plans. Frank recently described Romero as “very, very committed” to the club, and the defender’s new deal suggests that he is eager to contribute to the team’s success under Frank’s guidance.
With Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Djed Spence all tied down, Tottenham’s defense looks secure for the future.
The news of Romero’s contract extension comes after Tottenham confirmed Djed Spence’s new long-term deal. Both players have been instrumental in the team’s success, and their commitment to the club is a positive sign for the future.
Romero’s achievements extend beyond the club level. He has won 44 caps for Argentina, scoring three times and playing a key role in the team’s World Cup win in 2022 and back-to-back Copa America titles. His experience and success make him an invaluable asset to Tottenham.
With Romero’s contract extension, Tottenham can focus on building a strong team for the future.
