The 3 clubs that tried to sign Cuti Romero in the summer

Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain tried to sign Cristian "Cuti" Romero during the last summer transfer window, but Tottenham Hotspur was firm in its refusal. Despite the interest from three of Europe's most powerful clubs, the Spurs turned down offers for the 26-year-old Argentine defender, who has become a key component of the London team's defense.

Romero, who arrived at Tottenham in 2021 on loan from Atalanta, secured his permanent stay in 2022 after an excellent debut season. His aggressive style and leadership skills at the back caught the eye, prompting the English club to spend 50 million euros to retain him. Since then, he has played in over 100 matches for the Spurs, establishing himself as one of the best defenders in the Premier League.

Cuti Romero, the desire of Europe's giants

The interest from giants like Real Madrid and Manchester United was centered on bolstering their defensive lines with a player of character, leadership, and elite experience. PSG, on the other hand, sought to add Romero to their renewal project, following a season where their defense raised many questions. However, Tottenham stood firm, rejecting all offers made for their star player.

Real Madrid, in particular, saw the Argentine as a perfect option to ensure the generational transition of their defense, with Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba approaching their thirties. But after failing to convince the Spurs, the Madrid club may reconsider its position in the future, seeking new alternatives to strengthen their backline.

Regarding Manchester United, their interest in Romero emerged before finalizing the arrival of Matthijs de Ligt. Now, with the addition of the Dutchman and young Leny Yoro, the "Red Devils" seem to have their central defense covered, potentially marking the end of their pursuit of the Argentine. Meanwhile, PSG also couldn't make progress in negotiations, leaving them without the chance to enlist Romero to reinforce their defense.

Cristian Romero, on his part, has made it clear that he is happy in London, where he has found stability and trust. While European giants may attempt once more in future transfer windows, Tottenham seems unwilling to let go of one of the pillars of their project. Thus, Cuti Romero's departure in 2025 remains uncertain.
