Cristian Romero reportedly lacks a formal release clause in his contract, leaving the club in total control of his future despite intensifying interest from Spanish giants.
Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero does not have a €60 million release clause in his current contract, despite recent reports in Spain.
The 27-year-old Argentine signed a long-term extension last summer, tying him to the club until 2029.
Any potential suitors, including Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid, must negotiate directly with Spurs, who currently sit 17th in the Premier League table amid a difficult campaign.
Rumours of a “gentleman’s agreement” allowing Romero to join a top La Liga side have also been downplayed following Daniel Levy’s departure.
Before signing his new deal, Romero admitted his desire to play in Spain, stating: “La Liga is the one [league] left to play in.
I would love to, to tell you the truth. I would love to play there because it’s the league I’m missing.”
