Romero Posts Farewell Message to Tottenham Fans as Atletico Madrid Transfer Looms
The Argentina defender leaves after five seasons and 156 appearances, with British media reporting Atletico Madrid paid about £34.2 million for him.
- On Saturday, Atletico Madrid announced the signing of Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero until June 2031. British media reported the Spanish club paid around £34.2 million for the 28-year-old defender.
- Romero bid farewell to Spurs on Friday, stating he was leaving "with a heart full of memories and enormous pride for everything we lived and achieved together." The defender joined the London club from Atalanta in 2021, making 156 appearances across all competitions.
- In 2025, Romero helped Spurs end their 17-year wait for silverware by defeating Manchester United in the Europa League final, marking the highlight of his spell in England.
- Tensions arose late last season when Romero planned to return to Argentina for Belgrano's tournament final during Spurs' relegation battle, though he ultimately stayed to help secure Premier League survival with a 1-0 victory over Everton.
- Beyond club success, the Argentina international was a member of the squad that won the 2022 World Cup and featured in the 2026 tournament, including the final.
