Cristian Romero confirms he is leaving Tottenham and Atletico Madrid completes the signing, ending his five-year spell in north London. Multiple outlets report Romero has agreed to join Atletico after Spurs’ captain bid farewell to the club.

Atletico announce the deal with a contract running until June 2031, with some sources noting financial terms are not officially disclosed by the Spanish club. British media report the fee is around £34.2 million (reported as roughly €40 million by other outlets). One report also says Tottenham are unlikely to sell their captain to a direct rival, making Atletico and Inter Milan the more likely contenders.

Different outlets focus on timing and context: some emphasize Romero’s own confirmation of the exit, while others highlight the reported pursuit by Atletico and the competitive landscape around any potential sale. Overall, the reporting is consistent that Romero moves from Tottenham to Atletico Madrid for a reported fee near €40 million and signs a long-term contract.
