Atlético Madrid Signs Argentina Defender Cristian Romero From Tottenham

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." The defender joined the London club from Atalanta in 2021, making 156 appearances across all competitions.
  • The highlight of his spell came in 2025, when he helped Spurs end their 17-year wait for silverware by beating Manchester United in the Europa League final.
  • Tensions arose late last season when Romero planned to return to Argentina for a Belgrano match during Spurs' relegation battle, though he ultimately stayed to help secure Premier League survival against Everton.
  • Beyond his club career, the Argentina international was a member of the squad that won the 2022 World Cup and featured in the 2026 tournament, including the final.
