Manchester United to Make a Move for Cristian Romero

Manchester United are preparing an offer for Tottenham captain Cristian Romero. After returning to action for the Argentine national team in their World Cup qualifying preparations, the centre-back has dispelled any doubts about his fitness and attracted interest from the Red Devils.

Romero featured in the friendly match for "La Albiceleste" against Honduras, marking his first appearance since a concerning injury to his right knee. Simultaneously, the defender's name has been increasingly linked with Manchester United, who plan to strengthen their central defence and reunite him with Lisandro Martínez – his best friend and international teammate.

According to a report from TyC Sports, the Red Devils are considering a move for the 28-year-old centre-back and are expected to submit an offer to Spurs soon.

In mid-2025, Romero renewed his contract with the North London club, extending his commitment on a "long-term" basis without a specific end date. The contract includes a release clause of €60 million, which is also being closely monitored by clubs in Spain.

Throughout the campaign, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atlético Madrid have all been mentioned as teams interested in the World Cup and two-time Copa América winner. "Los Colchoneros" have been tracking him for the past few transfer windows and appear to be the most serious contender for his signature among the three La Liga giants.

A significant factor in Manchester United's favour is the presence of Lisandro Martínez. Romero has maintained a very close friendship with him for years, and the two even share a room during national team camps. They also formed a solid defensive partnership on the way to their Copa América 2024 triumph.
