Player Cristian Romero

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We’ll be lucky to recoup what we spent on him.

No one is paying £60m for Romero IMHO.
I expect Romero will be at Spurs until the end of his contract. 1 more season at least very least.

Like most Madrid rumors, I think it was all smoke and no fire. La Marca standard OP is "select player for non-CL winning club who is playing well today -> print Madrid want to buy said player headline".

If he'd carried on playing as well as he started out at Spurs, maybe the smoke would have developed into a fire. But he hasn't been Madrid quality for 18 months, and doubt they have any interest in him.

If we have another great season under a competent coach next year, and he goes and has another good WC in 2026, we'll probably lose him then.

He doesn't have any leverage to get out at this point, though, even if there was interest.
100% all the above!

With his wages and injury record I doubt he goes in the summer! If he does I bet the fee will be in the £30m range as that is the high end of non Madrid or Bayern clubs can pay or would want to pay.

Something is definitely off with this whole thing though, no appearances in the stadium, no social media (apart from being sad about his midget friend at united). Wonder if what he said went down really bad with Levy who is looking to keep him in the dark for the rest of the season and eventually sell to a minion club. It’s amazing how petty some of these businessman can get when challenged.

Well we can't force him to leave, either, and like you say no smaller clubs will take his wages.

Worst case scenario, he's going to become another Ndombele that no one who can afford wants and no one who wants can afford.

Best case scenario, the club is privately dealing with/disciplining him for his statements, making it clear to him that he's an integral part of this squad when healthy and, in any event, he's not going anywhere as his contract is still very long yet and he'd best just get on with it before he ruins his career.

Levy wouldn’t want to degrade the asset’s value by ‘benching’ him for this length of duration, even if his ego took a knock. More likely if it’s a disciplinary thing, he’s had a ruck with Ange.

It is very strange how he’s not been seen at the stadium when virtually every other injured player has.

He's at home with his mrs and new born.

We need to get rid of this bum.

Terrible signing.

Massively over rated.

We should try and swap him for De Ligt if United would entertain it.

The clubs in Spain are also all adapting to much stricter financial rules still.

If he is sold I think that it is more likely that he goes back to Italy.
 
Firmly in the malingerer camp for me along with a few others. If Ange gets the boot or we put together a rare run of form, watch them all make themselves available. The kids are putting them to shame whilst they are happily living it up in London on a full wage.

Gary Mabbutt must be horrified at what a bunch of pussies they are.
 
Will be right to go for Argentina no doubt Considering he's had a shocking season when available and never really consistently achieved at club level yet, you'd think he'd want to prove himself to the fans and at the end of the day, the club paying his wages.
We all struggle (at times) in life, but perhaps these guys earning abnormal amounts need to realise how privileged they actually are.

He's a slow burner lol according to Ange.

I don't understand how a tenacious guy like Romero can be a fucking slow burner in recovery in all honesty. Any office guy will be in utmost effort to recover from an ankle sprain, much less a millionaire sportsman having access to the best diet and rehabilitation facilities.

The wussies in this sport is making a mockery of the actual world we are living in.
