Sources: Tottenham ready to sell key player for €60m, Man United preparing an offer
Cristian Romero’s situation has quickly become one of the biggest talking points surrounding Tottenham Hotspur’s summer plans.
The Argentine center-back, widely seen as one of the club’s defensive leaders, suffered a knee injury during the away match against Sunderland, a blow that has ruled him out for the rest of the season.
That injury doesn’t just weaken Spurs on the pitch, it also complicates decisions off it.
With Tottenham battling to secure their league status and facing financial pressure behind the scenes, Romero’s future has suddenly become far less certain than it once seemed, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside.
For a player who has been central to the club’s defensive identity, the coming months could mark a major turning point.
The 27-year-old has made 23 Premier League appearances for Spurs this season.
Tottenham set price tag for Cristian Romero
In recent seasons, Romero has been considered one of Tottenham’s most important players, aggressive, fearless, and often the emotional spark in the back line.
However, Tottenham’s leadership are now open to offers, particularly as part of a wider financial reset.
The club are believed to value Romero between €60 million and €65 million, a figure that reflects both his quality and his long-term contract, which runs until 2029.
That deal gives Tottenham leverage in negotiations, but their financial position, and especially their league status, could influence how firmly they hold that valuation. If the club faces serious pressure, the asking price could shift.
Interest in rising across top European clubs
Atletico Madrid are among the clubs most strongly linked, with manager Diego Simeone reportedly viewing Romero as the perfect defensive leader for his system.
Real Madrid are also keeping an eye on the situation, particularly as they continue to deal with long-term injury concerns affecting defenders like Éder Militão and David Alaba.
In England, Manchester United have also been mentioned as potential suitors. Their defensive inconsistency over recent seasons has made strengthening the back line a priority, and Romero’s Premier League experience makes him an attractive option if he becomes available.
Of course, Romero’s time at Tottenham hasn’t been without controversy. His combative style is admired by many but also carries risks. His disciplinary record this season, including several bookings and dismissals, has sometimes left Spurs short-handed at key moments.
For Tottenham, the decision surrounding Romero could signal the direction of the club’s future.
Holding onto him would mean keeping a proven leader at the heart of their defense. Selling him, on the other hand, could unlock significant funds to reshape the squad and start a new chapter.
