Cuti Romero’s special clause easing move to Spain’s giants | OneFootball

Cristian Romero is going through one of the most tense moments of his career. Tottenham Hotspur were not only eliminated from the UEFA Champions League, but they also sit in 17th place in the Premier League, one point above the relegation zone.

Meanwhile, his departure from Spurs is now a reality. He will change clubs after four years in London, and this Wednesday a special release clause was revealed that brings him closer to Spain’s biggest clubs.

In his latest contract renewal in August 2025, Cuti agreed that for 60 million euros, he would be free to sign for Atlético Madrid, Real Madrid, or Barcelona. Atleti have been after him in recent transfer windows and would be the main favorites to land the Argentina international center-back.

“It’s the only one I’m missing,” Romero said in a video on Los Edul, referring to his desire to play in Spain’s La Liga. The Belgrano academy product, in addition to having played in England, also spent time in Italy with Genoa and Atalanta.

Regarding Atleti’s interest, after the Champions League knockout tie, Diego “Cholo” Simeone expressed his admiration for Cuti: “As an Argentine fan, I admire his personality, his game, and his defensive work. As an Argentina fan who has watched more of his matches than Tottenham’s, I’m an admirer of his.”

However, the present situation takes priority, and Romero is in a delicate spot with Tottenham because of the risk of dropping into the Second Division: “Nothing, the most important thing for us is those seven finals ahead. Now I’ll go with my national team and then come back. The situation is complex, but we have to play them like a final. That’s how it is: very complicated, the season has been bad. Honestly, with me, the responsibility comes first. That’s life, football is like that, and the most important thing is to keep going all together.”
