Exclusive to the Telegraph: After Romero renews his contract, Tottenham Hotspur gives him the highest salary for the captain + the team

Hupu, August 19th, exclusive report by the famous reporter of the Daily Telegraph, Matt Law, Tottenham Hotspur had expressed his intention at the beginning of the season, officially announcing that he would become the highest-paid player in the team after renewing his contract with Christian Romero until 2029.

Under the strong attention of Atletico Madrid and the public, Romero was once rumored to leave Tottenham this summer. But he, who was just appointed as captain, has signed a four-year contract with the team.

The new contract will make Romero the highest-paid player in Tottenham Hotspur, and the club seems to have convinced the Argentine player, which is seen as a significant move.

During his career as Tottenham, Romero has repeatedly questioned the club's operations. Until June this year, just one hour after Thomas Frank's appointment was announced, he seemed to have sent another farewell letter to former head coach Ang Postkoglu, which read: "Despite many obstacles that have been around and forever, you still pave the way for us."

However, since the two began working together, Frank has clearly impressed Romero, and Tottenham has firmly stated that he would not be pressured to sell the defender to Atletico Madrid, with him being estimated far more than £60 million.

Romero's previous contract expires in 2027, making it easy for Tottenham to be forced to sell him next summer or give him a free transfer.

But after Son Heung-min and the club's highest-paid player left, the club took decisive action to appoint him as the new captain to ensure his future.

Before joining Los Angeles Football Club, Son Heung-min was the highest-paid player in Tottenham, but now it is believed that Romero's income has surpassed Madison and Deyan Kulushevsky and others.
