Cristian Romero Signs New Tottenham Deal Through 2029

A leadership role underlines the club’s intent to keep its defensive lynchpin.

Overview

  • Tottenham announced on Monday that the Argentina defender agreed a long-term extension, with multiple outlets reporting the contract runs to June 2029.
  • Romero was appointed first-team captain before the UEFA Super Cup and wore the armband in the penalty shootout loss to Paris Saint-Germain after a 2-2 draw.
  • British media report a significant pay rise to about £200,000 per week as part of the new deal, while the club did not disclose salary details.
  • Atlético de Madrid held talks in early June but did not meet a reported €70 million valuation, and Romero chose to remain at Spurs, according to Fabrizio Romano.
  • Now 27, Romero enters his fifth season with Tottenham on 126 appearances and eight goals, fresh off a Europa League triumph where he earned tournament and final best player honors.
