According to Atletico Madrid Official announcement, Tottenham Hotspur center back Cristian Romero joins the team.
Atletico Madrid Announcement:
The Argentine international defender, recently a finalist in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, joins our club from Tottenham Hotspur.
Atletico Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement for the transfer of Cristian Gabriel 'Cuti' Romero, who has signed for our club until June 30, 2031.
An experienced 28-year-old right-footed centre-back, he is a very physical footballer, quick in anticipation and efficient in cutting, with a lot of hierarchy and leadership on the field.
Born on April 27, 1998, in Córdoba, Argentina, Cristian Romero began his professional career at Club Atlético Belgrano, making his debut with the first team in August 2016. He remained there for two seasons before moving to Europe to join Italian side Genoa. After a remarkable debut in Serie A, he signed for Juventus in the summer of 2019. However, while under contract with the Bianconeri, he had several loan spells: first back at Genoa (2019/20), then at Atalanta (2020/21) – where he was named Serie A's best defender – and finally at Tottenham Hotspur (2021/22).
The English club secured his services permanently at the end of his loan, leading him to wear the Spurs shirt for another four years. In total, he spent five seasons in London, playing 156 matches, scoring 13 goals, providing 7 assists, and winning the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League. In that tournament, Cristian Romero was chosen as the best player of both the competition and the final, and it marked Tottenham's first European title in 31 years.
Having earned 58 caps for the Argentine national team, he made his debut in June 2021 and has never finished lower than second place in any competition he has played for the Albiceleste. He was a key player in Argentina's victories in the 2022 Final and World Cup, the 2021 and 2024 Copa América, and their recent runner-up finish at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Our new footballer passed the relevant medical examination at the Vithas - Invictum High Performance Sports Medicine Centre of the Madrid Arturo Soria University Hospital, before heading to the club offices at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, where he signed his contract with our club.
Welcome, 'Cuti' Romero!

Atletico will sign all the players in the world, good they have good players in all positions but still win nothing, the board are controlling this club with emotion, Tico has a lot of good players but the Coach tactics won’t change since all this years and Atletico is going to remain the same if the board didn’t let go of the coach .
I wonder why Diego Simeon is the highest paid coach. He helped the club but I think he is not helping anymore. But I think they want to honour him by allowing him to complete his contract. If the contract ends and they extend it, then I will know that they are blind.
