Cristian Romero Transfers from Tottenham to Atletico Madrid

Cristian Romero has officially transferred from Tottenham Hotspur to Atletico Madrid for a fee of £34.2 million. The announcement follows Romero's earlier declaration of his departure from Spurs, where he made 124 appearances over five seasons.

The deal includes a 15 percent sell-on clause for Tottenham, and Romero has signed a five-year contract with Atletico. The Argentine defender had been linked with a move throughout the summer, with Atletico being his preferred destination despite interest from other clubs.

Romero's time at Tottenham included challenges, such as being sent off twice during a relegation battle last season and facing criticism from fans regarding his commitment. He expressed gratitude to the club and its supporters in a farewell message, reflecting on his achievements, including helping end Spurs' 17-year trophy drought.
