Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero has been linked with a move away from the North London club in recent months.
Cristian Romero is reportedly a target for Real Madrid over a possible move in the 2025 summer transfer window. However, Tottenham are prepared to offer him a new contract in order to keep him at the club.
According to Give Me Sport, Spurs are ready to offer him a bumper contract which would see him become the highest earner at the club. Romero currently earns £165,000-a-week wages at Tottenham, and the new deal will see him earn more than the club’s best-paid player Son Heung-min.
The South Korean earns around £190,000-a-week salary, and Romero’s new deal will take his wages in the region of £200,000 per week. It remains to be seen whether Romero is willing to commit his long-term future to the club. He is undoubtedly the best defender at Tottenham, and they must hold on to him if they want to challenge for trophies.
Tottenham will be desperate to secure UEFA Champions League qualification as well. They will need to sign top-class players and hold on to their best players to compete at the highest level. Romero’s departure would be a major blow for them. Spurs are already lacking in depth in the defensive unit and they cannot afford to lose their best defender anytime soon.
Meanwhile, it is not surprising that Real Madrid want to sign him. He has proven himself in the Premier League and for his country. Romero has helped Argentina win the World Cup and the Copa America recently.
Romero might fancy a move to Real Madrid
The 26-year-old could be open to taking on a new challenge, and a move to Real Madrid will be quite attractive. They could help him win the UEFA Champions League and La Liga titles in the coming seasons. Tottenham must match up to his ambitions and convince the player that he will be able to win major trophies with them. It remains to be seen whether they can keep him at the club for the long run.
