Tottenham eye new deal to fend off suitors for world-class defensive star

It is important to factor in the injuries that the club had to deal with. At one point, Ange Postecoglou’s side were missing more than 12 first-team players at the same time through various injuries. The whole defence had to be shuffled, and Daniel Levy had to bring in emergency signings in January to fill the void left behind.

Tottenham want Cristian Romero to stay at N17

Tottenham centre-back Cristian Romero has not endured a good season at N17. The 26-year-old has missed a lot of games through injury and has struggled to keep himself fit for most parts of the campaign. As per Sofascore, the Argentine defender has featured in just 23 games in all competitions this season. However, Spurs have played better with him in the starting eleven.

Now, Caught Offside have reported that Spurs want to tie Romero down to a new contract at the club. The North London club believe that the ex-Atalanta centre-back is a key player for Ange’s side, and he is a vital part of the long-term project at the club. Spurs know that they will have to fend off potential suitors if they want to have any chance of keeping the World Cup winner at N17.

Cristian Romero has attracted a lot of interest from other clubs in recent weeks. The likes of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are interested in his services and want to sign the centre-back quickly. It is an open secret that the Argentina international is also considering a move away from the club and wants try a different challenge.

Daniel Levy will need to play his cards right if he wants to keep the talented centre-back at N17. The defender still has two years remaining in his contract, so negotiating a deal for Romero will not be easy, and Spurs will not let him leave for a cut-price deal. However, Tottenham have started looking at potential replacements and want to reach a conclusion regarding his future quickly.
