Cristian Romero Focuses on the Fight for Tottenham’s Survival
Cristian Romero, Tottenham defender, has put aside speculation about a possible transfer in the summer and has assured that his priority is to help the team get out of the relegation zone in the Premier League.
Romero, after overcoming concussion protocols, returned to contribute to Tottenham’s 3-2 victory over Atletico Madrid on Wednesday. However, this triumph was not enough to avoid elimination from the Champions League in the round of 16.
The truth is that I am focused on the situation we are in.

Atlético de Madrid coach Diego Simeone praised Romero, who has been the subject of interest for a possible transfer. However, the Tottenham captain preferred not to address the issue and reiterated his desire to improve the club’s performance in the Premier League.Romero expressed his respect and affection for the club, and his desire to finish the season in the best possible way, focusing his efforts on helping the Spurs.
Romero’s statements add to those of Micky van de Ven, who dismissed rumors about the lack of commitment of Tottenham players, and Pedro Porro, who also downplayed the possibility of a transfer to Spain in the summer.
Tottenham achieved one of their best performances of the season against Atletico Madrid, ending a streak of eight winless games and giving their coach, Igor Tudor, his first victory in charge.
After the 5-2 defeat in Madrid, the team showed improvement with a 1-1 draw against Liverpool, which has boosted the team’s confidence ahead of Sunday’s crucial match against Nottingham Forest, a direct rival in the fight for survival.
Porro commented that the match against Atlético was positive for gaining confidence, despite the elimination. He acknowledged that they have had bad matches in the Premier League, but highlighted the draw against Liverpool and the feeling that the team is regaining good sensations.
Porro added: “Right now I’m not thinking about going back to Spain. The truth is that I’m very happy here with my club. We are trying, and all my teammates are trying to get us out of this situation. It’s difficult, it’s not easy because nobody wants to be in this position at this moment, fighting like this, for what we are fighting for, but the most important thing is that the team is fighting and that we come out with a victory. It’s bittersweet, but it gives you confidence for what will be a final on Sunday.”
