Emiliano Martinez and Bissouma react to Cristian Romero’s Tottenham announcement
Yves Bissouma and Emi Martinez were among players to react to Cristian Romero’s post on social media after reaching a milestone with Tottenham.
Romero has endured a challenging campaign at Spurs, with injuries and inconsistent form hampering his season.
The Argentine has featured just 25 times in all competitions, making 18 starts, and has been named on the bench for the past three consecutive Premier League matches.
Speculation continues to grow around his future in North London, with Atletico Madrid showing interest in Romero ahead of the summer window.
Despite the uncertainty, Romero’s latest achievement was posted on social media and is a reminder of the important role he still plays at the club.
Cristian Romero hits 100 Premier League games amid Tottenham uncertainty
Despite ongoing speculation and limited minutes this season, Romero has reached 100 Premier League appearances for Tottenham.
The Argentine defender reposted the club’s announcement, which read “100 PL appearances for Cuti!”, with likes from Bissouma and fellow countryman Martinez acknowledging the milestone.
Meanwhile, Football Insider revealed that Tottenham may be open to selling Romero this summer if a significant offer comes in—a notable shift from their firm stance last year when he was considered untouchable.
Interest has come from Spain, with Real Madrid also in the race. Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that Romero would prefer a move to Real Madrid over rivals Atletico, and Tottenham would also rather part ways with him than other key defenders such as Micky van de Ven.
Still, concerns remain around his fitness. He has missed 27 games this season due to three separate injuries, which have severely disrupted any consistent run in the side.

With Romero’s future hanging in the balance, Spurs appear to be preparing for life without him.
Football Insider revealed on 9 May that Tottenham have joined the race to sign Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen. The Spanish centre-back has impressed during a breakout campaign and attracted attention across Europe.
Real Madrid, Chelsea and Liverpool are all monitoring Huijsen, who has a £50 million release clause. The final decision may ultimately rest with the player himself, with several high-profile options on the table.
