Tottenham set Cristian Romero price tag, but it contradicts what his dad said about release clause value

2 hours ago 28

A report has shed light on the fee that Tottenham Hotspur are expected to demand for Cristian Romero as the Argentine nears a Spurs exit.

Romero may have already played his final game for Tottenham after his knee injury against Sunderland ruled the centre-back out for the rest of the season.

Reports indicate that Spurs have decided to cash in on their captain even if they stay in the Premier League ahead of Roberto De Zerbi’s first full season in charge.

Fabrizio Romano has dismissed suggestions that Romero has a release clause in his contract, and the Lilywhites’ valuation of the defender has now come to light.

How much are Tottenham expected to demand for Cristian Romero?

CaughtOffside claim to have heard from sources close to agents in the industry that the 27-year-old faces an extremely uncertain future at N17.

The report reveals that Tottenham are open to offers for the centre-back this summer, with the club aiming for a ‘financial reset’ this summer.

The outlet claims that Spurs value Romero between €60m (£52.1m) and €65m (£56.5m), which their hierarchy believes reflects his quality and his long-term contract at N17.

However, it is suggested that Tottenham’s asking price could be influenced by their Premier League status in the summer, with the club potentially willing to change their valuation if they face serious pressure to sell.

This comes after Romero’s dad claimed there is a release clause in his Spurs contract. He said: “He has two more years on his contract with Tottenham and a very high release clause. The English club isn’t going to let him go for free; it’s between $50-$70m [£37.8m-£53m]. For me, they’ll want to recover what they invested.”

Three clubs leading the race to sign Romero from Spurs

CaughtOffside say that Diego Simeone continues to view the Tottenham star as the ‘perfect defensive leader’ for Atletico Madrid.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid are also keeping an eye on Romero’s situation as Eder Militao and David Alaba face uncertain futures at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Finally, Manchester United have also been named as a potential suitor for the Argentine, with the Red Devils expected to prioritise strengthening their backline this summer.
