Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to end their 2024/25 season on a high note by winning the UEFA Europa League title, as they gear up to face Bodo/Glimt in the semifinal. However, some drama has now popped up on the future of their regular centre-back Cristian Romero because of his recent comments.

In an interview with Argentine journalist Gaston Edul, he stated: “I would love to play in LaLiga because it is the league I am missing [in his career].” Romero’s comments come after he has been strongly linked to a possible move to Real Madrid over the last year or so.
Romero also spoke about what lies in his future with the Lilywhites, adding: “I try to always take it one day at a time. There are almost two months left until the season ends. My focus is always on giving my all, trying to finish in the best possible way. We’re in the Europa League semi-final, which is an important step for the club after so many years without reaching this stage. After that we’ll see. The truth is, I haven’t spoken to my agent yet, but I’m open to anything. Growth is always on my mind, as is going to new places to continue growing.”
When Does Romero’s Contract With Tottenham Expire?
A potential advantage that Tottenham hold when it comes to the Argentine centre-back is that he is still contracted to stay with them until the end of June, 2027. He joined the club from Atalanta in 2022 and signed a five-year contract upon making the move.

Tottenham aren’t in danger of losing Romero on a free transfer anytime and hold the key to his future. The 26-year-old has had his struggles with injuries in the 2024/25 season, restricting him to only 23 appearances in which he’s helped his side keep three clean sheets across all competitions.
