Spurs Stand Firm on Romero Amid Atletico Madrid Interest

Spurs Value Romero as Core of Frank’s Project

Cristian Romero continues to attract long-term interest from Atletico Madrid, but Tottenham remain resolute. According to Sky Sports News’ Michael Bridge, the Argentina international is seen as “a very important member of Thomas Frank’s side” and central to the club’s future under the new head coach.

Following a commanding performance in the Europa League final where he was named player of the match, Romero’s value has only increased. Despite Atletico’s interest, it is understood “it would take a huge bid for the club to even consider selling” the Spurs vice-captain.

No Intention to Undermine Stability

The message from within Tottenham is clear. Stability, leadership and top-level consistency are prioritised, and Romero offers all three. With a long-term project now underway under Frank, Romero remains integral to Spurs’ structure, identity and aspirations.

If you’re a Spurs fan, this is exactly the kind of stance you want to see. For too long, Tottenham have had a reputation for being a selling club when bigger sides come knocking. But in Romero, there’s not just quality, there’s character, and his influence has grown with the armband and key performances in major games.

Atletico Madrid’s interest is no surprise. A player of his calibre, with World Cup-winning pedigree and the ability to dominate defensively, is rare. But this summer is not about rebuilding from scratch, it is about building properly. Thomas Frank clearly values Romero, not just for his aggression and defending, but for what he represents, consistency, commitment and presence.

Hearing that “it would take a huge bid” to even start conversations signals intent. It shows the club is no longer entertaining easy exits and that high performers are here to stay. Romero is part of the spine, and Spurs fans will be delighted to see that respected and protected.
