Overview

  • Tottenham confirmed on Aug. 18 that the World Cup-winning centre-back signed a new long-term deal, without disclosing length or wages.
  • Multiple outlets including Sky Sports, ESPN and the Evening Standard report the contract runs four years to the summer of 2029.
  • The agreement follows his appointment as club captain last week by Thomas Frank after Son Heung-min’s move to LAFC.
  • Atletico Madrid explored a move earlier in the summer but did not meet Tottenham’s valuation, and retaining Romero was a priority for the new head coach.
  • Romero began the summer with two years left on his previous deal and has already led on the pitch, scoring in the UEFA Super Cup and helping a 3-0 Premier League opening win over Burnley.
