Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero has spoken on the future of Tottenham defender Cristian Romero.

Tottenham are winless in 2026 and find themselves in the relegation zone behind the likes of West Ham, Leeds United and Nottingham Forest.

If Spurs are relegated, they will be forced to sell many of their first team players who will look to jump ship as soon as the side fall to the Championship. 

Romero, the World Cup winner, will be one of the key players desperate to leave and as links grow to top clubs, Aguero spoke to Stake about how he must look to move to a club with ambition. 

“I don’t know - it all depends on what (Christian Romero) wants. It’s his decision. Atlético and United are two totally different clubs. Man United is a team that maybe plays a bit more… but today Atlético have a much better level than Man United.  

“Historically you compare them with Man United, but right now Atlético have very good players. They don’t always have a lot of possession but the games I’ve seen, they come out playing from the back. 

“It’s his decision where he wants to go. Sometimes the player wants to stay at the club where he is, but the idea is to keep progressing.” 

Romero may have already played his final game for Tottenham after sustaining a season-ending knee injury in the 1-0 defeat at Sunderland earlier this month which will only give him more time to think about his future.
