Overview

• Tottenham confirmed that captain Cristian Romero has agreed a new deal, with reports suggesting the contract runs until the summer of 2029.
• Manager Thomas Frank appointed Romero as club captain and highlighted his leadership and commitment in training as crucial to securing the extension.
• Interest from Atlético Madrid this summer failed to produce a formal offer, allowing Spurs to lock down their key defender without external competition.
• Romero, a World Cup and Europa League winner, had entered the final two years of his previous deal before the new agreement removed near-term transfer uncertainty.
• The club did not disclose financial terms in its announcement, prompting media and fan speculation that Romero’s wages could be around £200,000 per week.
