Cristian Romero Confirms Departure from Spurs Ahead of Atletico Madrid Move

Cristian Romero has confirmed his departure from Tottenham Hotspur as he prepares for a transfer to Atletico Madrid. The announcement comes as Atletico is set to finalize a deal valued at approximately £34.2 million for the Argentine central defender.

Romero, who has been with Spurs for five seasons and made 124 appearances, expressed gratitude to the club and its supporters in an Instagram post. He reflected on his journey, highlighting his pride in helping the team end a 17-year trophy drought.
