Tottenham Hotspur are not interested in selling Cristian Romero, despite interest from Real Madrid. Romero, who is 26 years old, is under contract with Spurs for two more seasons. Reports from his home country of Argentina suggested that there is no release clause in his contract. Real Madrid are looking for a central defender, and although Romero is on their radar, they have other options too. Arsenal’s William Saliba is reportedly a higher priority for Real Madrid. They also have an option to bring back Rafa Marin, who was sold to Napoli last summer with a buyback clause included in the deal.
Romero has not ruled out a move to Madrid, but Tottenham is not keen on letting him go. Even though Madrid has shown interest, they are not the only club looking to make moves in the transfer market. Real Madrid are still active in their pursuit of players, especially after Dani Carvajal suffered a knee injury. This has brought attention to Tottenham’s Pedro Porro, who could be a target for the Spanish club.
Despite this, Spurs are determined to keep hold of Romero. There are no plans to sell him, even though Real Madrid might make a move. Porro, who still has an extra year on his contract compared to Romero, could also be in demand. Porro has already commented on the interest, expressing pride at being linked with such a prestigious club.
Tottenham will not make it easy for Real Madrid if they pursue either Romero or Porro. Daniel Levy, the Spurs chairman, is known for driving a hard bargain in transfer negotiations. With the current situation, it seems Spurs are not in a rush to let either player leave anytime soon. The club is focused on holding onto their key players and will likely reject any offers for Romero in the near future.
The transfer rumors surrounding these players will continue as the window approaches. However, Tottenham’s position remains clear. They are not looking to sell their star defender, and any interest from Real Madrid will have to be carefully considered.
