Atlético Madrid have this morning confirmed the signing of Cristian Romero in a £34.1million transfer from Tottenham.
The centre-back has penned a five-year deal with the Spanish side.
In a statement, Spurs thanked Romero for his contributions to the club.
It read: “We have reached agreement with Atletico Madrid for the transfer of Cristian Romero.
“Signed from Atalanta in 2021, ‘Cuti’ was a key player in our UEFA Europa League triumph of 2024/25 and was named captain for the 2025/26 campaign.
His 32 appearances in all competitions last season took his tally to 156 in our colours.
“A Copa America winner just before his arrival, Cuti became only the second Spurs player to win the World Cup when Argentina beat France in Qatar in 2022.
He won the Copa America again in 2024 and reached a second World Cup Final this summer.
“Born in Cordoba, Cristian began his career at Belgrano and had spells at Genoa and Juventus before signing for Atalanta.
“We wish Cuti all the best for the future.” Cristian Romero has left Tottenham to join Atlético Madrid.
