TA: Romero s contract renewal is a major encouragement. His stay in the team is crucial for Frank to establish a defensive system.

August 18th TA famous reporter David Ornstein reported that Tottenham captain Romero signed a new four-year contract, which is a major encouragement for the club and head coach Thomas Frank. Romero's contract has two years left to expire before renewal, and it will last until June 2027, and now he has promised to play until 2029.

When the transfer window opens, the World Cup champion is Atletico Madrid's goal. After Son Heung-min left the team to join Los Angeles FC, Tottenham coach Thomas Frank appointed Romero as the team's new captain last week.

With Atletico Madrid's intentions, Romero once said that he was willing to play in La Liga and wanted to play in that league. Before coming to Tottenham, the defender played in Serie A for three seasons. But TA reported on last month that Atletico Madrid has stopped pursuing Romero and turned its attention to other goals, and they believe Tottenham is trying to sign a new contract with the 27-year-old.

Romero joined Tottenham Hotspur with a transfer fee worth 55 million in the summer of 2021. He was the core player of the team's defense during his tenures in Nuno, Conte and Postkoglu. Injuries and team rotations have left the players with only 18 appearances in the Premier League last season, but he played an important role in winning the UEFA Europa League, which is also the first trophy that Tottenham has won since 2008. Thomas Frank, who succeeded Postkoglu as Tottenham's new coach in June this year, said before the first 3-0 Burnley match of the Premier League in the new season that Romero was "very and very dedicated to the club."

In December last year, after the game with Chelsea, Romero talked about the issue of signings and investment in an interview. He said that other clubs are indeed constantly strengthening their lineups and hope that Tottenham will realize the club's problems.

TA's Tottenham reporter Elias Burke analyzed:

"After Son Heung-min left, Thomas Frank announced Romero as the club's new captain before the UEFA Super Cup, which shows that the 27-year-old has promised to continue playing for Tottenham, and although speculation about his future has sparked, a new long-term contract proves it.

Romero is one of the most accomplished and honored centre-backs in the Premier League, and ensuring his stay in North London is crucial for Thomas Frank to establish a solid defensive system.

He played most of the time in his penalty loss to Paris Saint-Germain last week. He showed his defensive ability, leaving one of Europe's best forwards for much of the game without much play. He showed his technical ability in Tottenham's 3-0 victory over Burnley, passing a key pass through the opponent's defense, which eventually led to Brennan Johnson's third goal in that game.

Thomas Frank seeks to keep Tottenham competitive in four events this season, and Romero and Van Devin's defensive partner seem crucial to their future success. With that in mind, their future in North London is guaranteed, which is an important push for their goals this season and even future."
