Tottenham ‘to offer Romero £200,000-a-week contract’ amid transfer exit update
After receiving a significant update regarding Cristian Romero’s future, Tottenham may be ready to offer the defender a deal worth £200,000 per week.
After a protracted absence owing to injury, Romero just made his comeback to play. On Sunday, March 9, after making a return in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium’s 2-2 Premier League match with Bournemouth, the centre-back made a covert jab at the Spurs’ roster.

An ultimatum now appears to be imminent, suggesting that Spurs may be prepared to do everything in their power to cling onto the 26-year-old.
Tottenham to make big-money offer to Romero
Romero wants to sign a new deal with Tottenham, according to a report published by GiveMeSport on March 17.
The World Cup champion is reportedly not persuaded to stay at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for much longer, though.
Spurs are therefore willing to sell Romero if he does not consent to a new contract by the time the summer transfer market opens.

In an exclusive interview with Tottenham News, former Spurs scout Bryan King also implied that the North London team would offer Romero up to £200,000 per week in order to get him to sign a new contract.
“Spurs will need to offer Romero the kind of money Son Heung-min is on,” King said.
“Therefore, I imagine that Tottenham will make an offer of around £200,000-a-week. Romero is a World Cup winner, and although he is a bit of a loose cannon at times, he is a world-class player and on his day he is as good as any centre-back in the country.
“The biggest problem with Romero is his consistency and injury record. However, if he is going to be offered a new contract, he is going to be very well-paid, let’s put it like that.”
Tottenham could be wise to cash in on Romero
Spurs might gain from selling Romero, but they would also gain from keeping him.
Now would be a good time to cash in if the player isn’t genuinely interested in being at the club. Romero’s contract expires this summer, and if the Spurs don’t move him, his worth will only go down.
Therefore, Spurs might be better off selling Romero and reinvesting the proceeds on a player who is dedicated to the team rather than trying to persuade him to stay.
