Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero has expressed his desire to play for his boyhood club Belgrano in future.

Cristian Romero has revealed that if he returns to South America in future, it will be with his boyhood club Belgrano. The Argentine international came through the ranks at Belgrano before moving to Europe.

Romero said to , “If I come back tomorrow, it will be to play for Belgrano . There is no other club, I have a lot of respect for them. It’s the club that saw me grow up. Beyond the things that happened, it’s something personal for me, playing in the club’s shirt”.

The 27-year-old has established himself as one of the finest defenders in European football right now, and he will be looking to win major trophies with Tottenham. He was instrumental in their UEFA Europa League win last season. He has helped his country win the World Cup and Copa América as well.

A move to Belgrano is unlikely to happen anytime soon. Cristian Romero is at the peak of his career, and he will want to play for elite clubs and win major trophies consistently. Returning to Belgrano might be a reality in a distant future when the player is in the twilight stages of his career. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.

Where will Romero play next?

Romero was heavily linked with an exit from Tottenham earlier this summer, but the North London outfit did not sanction his departure. Clubs like Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid were linked with the player. It will be interesting to see if the best clubs in the world decide to come back in for him in the coming windows.

Tottenham need to keep their best players if they want to fight for trophies consistently. Keeping Romero at the club will be a top priority for them. There have been rumours of a potential contract extension. It remains to be seen whether the South American is prepared to commit his long-term future to the club with a new deal.
