Atletico Madrid signed 2022 World Cup-winning centre-back Cristian Romero from Tottenham on Saturday for a fee reported to be 40 million euros ($46 million) including add-ons.
“(Romero) signs for our club until June 30, 2031,” said Atletico in a statement.
The Argentina international — who was also a member of the robust Argentina side that lost in last month’s World Cup final to Spain — is Atletico’s fourth signing this summer after Alejandro Grimaldo, Kang-in Lee and Morten Hjulmand.
The 28-year-old said goodbye to Spurs fans on Friday after five years in north London.
He was named man of the match when the club ended a 17-year trophy drought, beating Manchester United to win the 2025 Europa League.
