Report: It would take an ‘astronomical’ bid for Spurs to sell star player this summer
Tottenham Hotspur have their eyes on a number of players this summer, and while some peripheral squad members are likely to leave the club, one player is going nowhere.
Cristian Romero is catching the eye in the market
The ongoing project under Ange Postecoglou carries a very clear vision, and it is abundantly obvious which players are a part of that and which will be moving on in the near future.
So, the idea of Tottenham‘s vice-captain and key defender, Cristian Romero, being sold to Real Madrid or any club right now is little more than speculation.
The latest on the Argentine defender comes from Pete O’Rourke at Football Insider, who claims Spurs are not entertaining the idea of selling Romero this summer, and even a huge offer probably wouldn’t be enough to prise him away from the Lilywhites.
It is said an “astronomical” amount of money would be needed to even test Tottenham’s resolve.

But, Romero is thought to be happy at Spurs, and Postecoglou is very much planning to have the player as a part of his squad for the coming campaign. In fact, Spurs are more focused on adding to their defensive roster, than selling off their most valuable asset.
The rumours linking Romero to Real Madrid first emerged from ESPN Argentina (relayed by Mundo Albiceleste). However, Spurs have been quick to distance themselves from the speculation (Football.London).
Fabrizio Romano has said as much, too, telling PlayBack that Romero is a ‘key player’ for Spurs and will be going nowhere in the immediate future.

These are little more than silly rumours and they should stop soon. Romero is happy, he’s absolutely crucial to our team, and he’s arguably priceless so there’s no point any team sniffing around as they’ll be wasting their time.
