Cristian Romero was heavily linked with a move away from Tottenham during the summer transfer window.
Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid wanted to sign the player this summer, but the move has not worked out. The Spanish clubs have failed to meet the demands of the London club, and they have walked away from the deal.
Romeo is now set to stay at Tottenham, and he has been appointed as the club’s new captain. According to TBR Football, they are now looking to agree on a new deal with the player. The defender has had a chat with the newly appointed manager, Thomas Frank, and he is very happy with how it has turned out.
Cristian Romero happy with Thomas Frank chat
Graeme Bailey said: “There have been talks with Thomas Frank, and he’s very, very happy with what he’s come across. Will this help persuade him to sign a new contract? It won’t hurt.
“That’s what the Club really want. They want him to sign this new deal. It will see him become the highest-paid player at the club, if things start well this season, I don’t think that’ll be a million miles away.”
Spurs want new deal for Romero
Tottenham now want him to sign a new contract with the club, and they are prepared to offer him a bumper new deal. Romero could become the highest earner at the club with his new contract. It will be interesting to see if both parties can finalise an agreement quickly.
Romero is undoubtedly one of the best defenders in the world, and tying him down to a new contract would be a huge boost for Tottenham and their fans. They will be hoping to fight for major trophies in the near future, and they need top-quality players like Romero at their disposal.
The South American was crucial to their UEFA Europa League win last season, and he will hope to guide them to more trophies as a captain now.
