Tottenham is now in 10th place in the Premier League after nine games, ahead of their match against Aston Villa on November 3rd. While they have maintained a great Europa League record, star defender Cristian Romero has sparked interest from European giants

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are both interested in signing the Argentine, with Bayern particularly wanting to improve their defensive line with his abilities.

Valente

Cristian Romero has become an indispensable member of Tottenham’s backline since joining on a permanent basis from Atalanta in 2022. He’s played 109 games with the Lilywhites and has routinely delivered strong defensive performances, including exceptional tackling and tracking back ability. His effect is rewarded with a hefty weekly wage of £165,000, which reflects his importance to the club, as he is the club’s third biggest earner.

The Argentine remains concerned about his future.

Romero wants to play in the Champions League on a consistent basis, which he has conveyed with Tottenham as contract negotiations advance. This absence in European competition remains a major concern for him, hindering Spurs’ attempts to win his commitment. Bayern Munich, unlike Tottenham, could provide Romero with regular Champions League play, however it is unclear whether the German club would satisfy the £100 million estimate for the highly rated centre-back.

Romero’s future is in the balance as he assesses his desire for Champions League action against Tottenham’s contract proposal. With major teams surrounding, Spurs must guarantee their star defender’s allegiance or risk losing him to a big European opponent.

The defender acknowledges that when he learned Spurs wanted him, he “cried.”

The redemption of a Spurs player

Given that Ange Postecoglou had sent Djed Spence out on loan as soon as he walked through the door last year, many would have anticipated that he would be among the first players to depart the club before the summer.

However, the 24-year-old saved his Tottenham career by winning over the Australian and his coaching staff. He hasn’t missed a single opportunity this season.

Earlier this month, the full-back signed a new contract that would keep him employed until 2028 as a reward.

Djed Spence’s admission regarding the Spurs transfer
When he first moved from Riverside Stadium to N17 in 2022, the former Middlesbrough player has now shared his feelings.

Even though things at Tottenham haven’t always gone as planned, the Englishman acknowledged that he is excited for what lies ahead.

When you reach a major career milestone, like signing with a team the magnitude of Tottenham, it seems like all of your hard work has paid off, but I was crying with happiness.

“To sum up my time here, it has been challenging, but I feel like the best is still to come and I’m by no means done.”

Spence’s lofty goals

Due to Tottenham’s dearth of indigenous and club-trained players, Postecoglou was compelled to leave the full-back out of the Europa League group stages squad, which has resulted in him not getting additional playing time this season.

With his sights set on taking home trophies, Spence is undoubtedly highly ambitious about what he and his colleagues can accomplish this season.

“Obviously, my goal is to win something,” the defender continued. I want to win something here since that’s the manager’s and the team’s objective.

“You never say no to anything, and as long as you’re in the competition, you always have a chance to win, whether it’s the Carabao Cup, Premier League, FA Cup, or Europa League.”
