About Cristian Romero

Cristian Gabriel "Cuti" Romero (born 27 April 1998) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur, which he captains, and the Argentina national team. Coming through the youth system, Romero began his senior career in 2016 at Belgrano. He moved to Italy in 2018, playing for Genoa. Romero was purchased by Juventus the following season; he was sent back on loan to Genoa before being sent on loan to Atalanta in 2020. After being named Serie A's Best Defender for the 2020–21 season, the club exercised the option of purchase, before promptly loaning Romero to Tottenham with an obligation to buy. After a successful loan spell, Romero was signed by Tottenham in 2022, and went on to win the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League. Romero represented Argentina at the youth level at the 2017 South American U-20 Championship. He made his senior debut in 2021 and was a key member of the squads that won the 2021 Copa América, 2022 FIFA World Cup, and 2024 Copa América. Having joined the youth team in 2014, Romero was promoted to Argentine Primera División side Belgrano's first team in 2016; his debut came on 28 August, in a league match with Independiente. Romero debuted for the club on 15 August, coming on as a late substitute for Pierre-Emile Højbjerg in a match against Manchester City that Tottenham won 1–0.
