In the last hours, rumors emerged from Argentina indicating that Cristian “Cuti” Romero, Tottenham Hotspur defender, had a termination clause of 65 million euroswhich would make him an attractive target for several of Europe’s big clubs, including Real Madrid. However, the journalist specialized in transfers, Fabrizio Romanohas flatly denied this information.
According to the Italian, Romero’s contract with the Spurs does not include an exit clause for that amount, which makes any possible negotiation directly dependent on the English club’s interest in selling the player. Tottenham also consider him “untouchable”after a summer in which they received interest from several important clubs without changing their position.

The Argentine central defender, who He was one of the key pieces for Argentina in winning the 2022 World Cup in Qatarhas cemented his position as one of the best defenders in the Premier League since his arrival at Tottenham. At only 26 years old, his performance has been highlighted both for his defensive ability and for his leadership on the field of play, which has led clubs like Real Madrid to follow him very closely.
Even though there is no buyout clause, Romano suggests that if Real Madrid or another big European club wanted to sign him, I would have to negotiate directly with the Spurswho don’t seem willing to let him go easily. The winter market could bring new speculation, but for now, Romero seems destined to continue being a key piece in the scheme of Ange Postecoglou, the Tottenham coach.
