There is no buyout within the contract between Christian Romero and Tottenham Hotspur.
European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said on his SNS on the 10th (Korea time), “Despite reports in Argentina, Romero’s contract does not have a 65 million euro buyout clause. Tottenham decided that Romero could not be replaced despite the interest of big clubs last summer.”
Romero is a key center back for Tottenham. He overwhelms opponents with his good physical ability and is not slow to move, blocking back space in defense. Sometimes he gets a red card for rough fouls, but he never gets pushed back in a fight over the atmosphere. Romero’s strengths also appear in situations of offense. He often scores with headers and shots.
Romero made his professional debut with Belgrano in 2016 after playing for the Belgrano Youth. He entered the European arena after moving to Genoa in the 2018-19 season. Although it was his first season, he showed his competitiveness by appearing in many games.
Juventus showed interest in Romero’s performance, and Romero joined Juventus. Shortly after the transfer, Romero left for Genoa again on loan and gained experience. Romero returned to Juventus after completing his loan, but there was no room. Eventually, he had to start his loan life again. This time, it was Atalanta.
Romero has been reborn as a league-leading center back in Atalanta. Romero has been a key defender and has firmly held the back of Atalanta. Amid Romero’s performance, Atalanta has achieved a tremendous record of being the third in the league. Romero was named Serie A defender of the year for the 2020-21 season.
Romero joined Tottenham during the 2021-22 season. Tottenham spent a whopping 55 million euros (about 81.6 billion won) in transfer fees to bring Romero in. However, he did not play the entire season due to overlapping injuries in the first season. Still, he showed stable defense and received good reviews.
Romero played as Tottenham’s main defender. However, in the 2022-23 season, his overall defense was shaky. Tottenham allowed 63 goals during 38 matches. At the time, Romero was out due to injury and was banned for a walk-off. Tottenham received the worst report ever, ranking eighth. 스포츠토토
Ahead of the last season, Tottenham appointed Enze Postecoglou. Postecoglou changed a lot upon arrival. He was the first to change the team. Instead of Hugo Lloris and Eric Dier, the team has Son Heung-min, Christian Romero, and James Medicine.
Tottenham officially announced on its website, “Son Heung-min has been appointed as captain of our team. Son has inherited the captain’s armband from Lloris. Madison and Romero have become new vice-captain.”
Romero was in good shape last season. Tottenham used a four-backer for the first time in a long time, and Romero showed off his good chemistry with Mickey van der Penn. Tottenham remained unbeaten through the 10th round after the opening match. However, Romero was dismissed in the 11th round against Chelsea, and Tottenham began to crumble.
Romero returned after being dismissed and suffered a cruciate ligament shortly afterwards. He returned quickly, however, and regained stability afterwards. Romero showed good performance both in offense and defense, and Tottenham returned to their European counterparts after a season, finishing fifth.
Romero is staying strong in the second half of this season as well. He has not shown hot-tempered personality as before, and is maintaining his composure. Romero, in particular, has shown good chemistry with Van de Pen and Vicario, blocking opponent teams’ attacks, adding a sense of stability to Tottenham.
