Fabrizio Romano says Spurs have ‘no intention’ of selling one player despite reports

Despite speculation linking Cristian Romero with Real Madrid recently, Fabrizio Romano has rubbished these claims and insists the defender is almost certain to stay at Tottenham Hotspur this summer.

Real Madrid have been linked with Romero

As the vice-captain for Ange Postecoglou‘s Spurs squad and being one of the very best defenders in the world, it’s safe to say Romero is a key player for the Lilywhites.

Last season, the Argentine put his more reckless nature aside and proved he can be the composed, mature leader Tottenham need at the back. He also scored five goals across the campaign to show a different side to his game.

It was recently revealed by ESPN Argentina (relayed by Mundo Albiceleste) that Real Madrid are keen on signing Romero this summer.

However, rather predictably, Spurs are thought to be distancing themselves from those rumours (Football.London).

Cristian Romero is going nowhere

And now, Fabrizio Romano has doubled down on this by suggesting there is no way Romero would be sold by Tottenham this summer.

He told Playback: “Cuti Romero to Real Madrid – guys, many clubs appreciate Cuti Romero, but Cuti Romero is Tottenham. Tottenham have no intention at all to let Cuti Romero leave.

“Cuti Romero is a key player for Tottenham. If we want to talk about interest in Cuti Romero, we could spend three days. But I can guarantee to you that Cuti Romero is absolutely a crucial player for Tottenham and Tottenham have no intention to entertain any discussion.”

I have no doubt Romero will be sticking around this year, as Spurs wouldn’t dream of selling arguably their best and most valuable player now.

But, if we don’t start winning trophies, I can definitely see Romero leaving in two or three years time to spend his peak years at a club like Real Madrid.
