Spurs Declare Romero 'Untouchable' Amid Real Madrid Speculations

As the January transfer window approaches, the world of football is buzzing with speculation and potential moves. The latest rumblings from the transfer grapevine focus on Tottenham Hotspur and their star defender Cristian Romero, who is reportedly considered 'untouchable' by the club in light of interest from Real Madrid.

According to renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano, there is talk of a €65 million release clause in Romero's contract. However, Tottenham have no intentions of tapping into that clause. The club is dead set on keeping the Argentine international who has become a crucial part of their defense since joining from Atalanta in September 2020 for approximately £42 million. Manager Ange Postecoglou is poised to send a 'hands-off' message to any interested parties as Tottenham look to build their squad rather than dismantle it.

Romero, now 26, has played nearly 100 Premier League matches for Spurs and is considered a linchpin of their backline. His performance has caught the eye of LaLiga champions Real Madrid, who are reportedly looking to bolster their defense. With Romero tied to Tottenham until 2027, it seems the North London club has no immediate plans to part ways with their prized asset.
