Cristian Romero is refusing to rule out a move to Real Madrid at the end of the season.
The 26-year-old Argentine international has been linked with a move to the Spanish club and the La Liga outfit are keeping close tabs on his situation. According to Football Insider, Tottenham are looking to tie him down to a contract extension, but they will have to convince the player of their ambitions before he puts pen to paper on a new deal.
Romero has made 102 appearances for Spurs so far and he is a regular starter for them. The fact that he is not willing to rule out an exit in the near future, will certainly worry the North London club. However, it is no surprise. Romero has already won the World Cup and Copa America with Argentina recently, and he will want to win major trophies at the club level now.
He is a world-class defender who deserves to compete at the highest level. If Tottenham cannot help him fulfil his ambitions, he will look to join a bigger club where there will be better opportunities for him.
Real Madrid could use a central defender like him, and he would be a major upgrade on players like David Alaba. He has proven himself in English football and he is certainly good in enough for La Liga. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Tottenham fans will certainly hope that the club can convince him to sign an extension with them soon. It remains to be seen whether they can secure Champions League qualification and win a trophy this season so that they can convince the player that he is at the right place to achieve his goals.
