Real Madrid are reportedly eyeing defensive reinforcements for next summer, with Tottenham Hotspur’s Cristian Romero emerging as a key target. As Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba enter their thirties, the Spanish giants are looking to inject youth into their defense. After missing out on French prospect Leny Yoro, Real Madrid are considering several options, including Romero, who has impressed in the Premier League.
Tottenham, meanwhile, are keen to secure the Argentine’s future. The World Cup-winning defender still has three years left on his contract, but Spurs are reportedly looking to offer him an improved deal. Football journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed in his Daily Briefing that while no talks have yet begun, Tottenham are determined to hold onto Romero in the long term. Romano suggested discussions could start within the next few months.
However, Real Madrid’s interest may complicate Tottenham’s plans. If Los Blancos make a serious move, Romero’s representatives could leverage that interest during contract negotiations, potentially increasing demands. At 26, Romero still has several years at the top level, making him an attractive option for Madrid, despite their usual focus on younger players.
For Tottenham, retaining Romero is crucial. Since joining the club, he has become a vital part of their defense under manager Ange Postecoglou, known for his aggressive style and ball-playing ability. Losing him would be a significant blow to Spurs’ ambitions, especially as they aim to compete for silverware in both domestic and European competitions.
While Real Madrid are evaluating multiple targets, their pursuit of Romero could push Tottenham to act quickly. The north London club will be eager to avoid a repeat of past transfer sagas and tie down one of their most valuable assets.
In the coming months, it will be essential for Tottenham to secure Romero’s future, as interest from one of football’s biggest clubs could shift the dynamics of any negotiations. For now, both clubs appear to be weighing their options, with the Argentine defender at the center of a potential transfer tug-of-war.
