Tottenham Hotspur have refuted claims from Argentina that a €65 million release clause exists in the contract of their defender, Cristian “Cuti” Romero. The club has made it clear that Romero, who was deemed “untouchable” during the last transfer window, remains a key part of their squad despite interest from several top clubs.
Romero’s Commitment to Spurs
Romero, a 26-year-old centre-back, has been a significant presence in Tottenham’s defence since joining the club. His style of play is characterised by strong tackling and aerial ability, making him a formidable opponent for attackers. Prior to his time at Spurs, Romero played for Atalanta in Serie A, where he developed a reputation for his defensive prowess.
Transfer Speculation
Despite ongoing speculation about his future, Romero has previously dismissed transfer rumours, affirming his commitment to Tottenham. In August 2024, he publicly stated his dedication to the club, which aligns with Tottenham’s stance on his importance to the team.
Interest from Top Clubs
Romero’s performances have attracted attention from elite clubs across Europe. However, Tottenham’s firm position on his availability suggests that any potential suitors will face significant challenges in securing his services. The club’s denial of a release clause further solidifies their intent to retain the Argentine international.
