Cristian Romero’s situation has quickly become one of the biggest topics of conversation surrounding Tottenham Hotspur’s summer plans.
The Argentine centre-back, who is widely regarded as one of the club’s defensive leaders, suffered a knee injury during the away game against Sunderland – a blow that has sidelined him for the rest of the season.

That injury not only weakens Spurs on the pitch, it also complicates decisions off it.
As Tottenham fight to secure their place in the league and face financial pressure behind the scenes, Romero’s future has suddenly become far more uncertain than it once seemed, sources close to the agent industry tell CaughtOffside.
For a player who has been central to the club’s defensive identity, the coming months could mark a major crossroads.
The 27-year-old has made 23 Premier League appearances for Spurs this season.
Tottenham put a price tag on Cristian Romero
Over the past few seasons, Romero has been considered one of Tottenham’s most important players – aggressive, fearless and often the emotional spark in the back row.
Now, however, Tottenham’s management is open to bids, especially as part of a larger financial clean-up.
The club is said to value Romero at between €60 million and €65 million – an amount that reflects both his quality and his long-term contract, which runs until 2029.
That deal gives Tottenham bargaining power, but the financial situation – and especially their league position – could affect how firmly they hold on to that valuation. If the club is under serious pressure, the price tag could change.
