'The one I am missing' - Cristian Romero teases Tottenham transfer exit and explains why Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson is 'annoying'

FIFA Club World Cup

Chelsea

Los Angeles FC

<p>Former Genoa and Atalanta ace Romero has previously said he wants to move to La Liga one day, following links with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-battle-atletico-cristiano-romero-tottenham-trent-alexander-arnold-new-look-defence/blt12b20a179d29c641" target="_blank">Real Madrid</a>, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/atletico-madrid-attempt-sign-cristian-romero-tottenham-daniel-levy-sets-price-europa-league-triumph/blt50fefb01589ed233" target="_blank">Atletico Madrid</a>, and more. The centre-back also revealed it is a real pain playing against the talkative Jackson and even team-mate Richarlison.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>When asked where he would like to play next, he told <a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/premier-league/2025/05/29/cuti-romero-me-encantaria-jugar-laliga.html" target="_blank"><em>Marca</em></a>: "I would love to play in La Liga, it's the one I'm missing."</p><p>On the most annoying striker he has faced, Romero replied: "Jackson, annoying in his way of speaking. We played away last year, we talked about everything over each other the whole game. Richarlison is another annoying one. I know him now, he's a character. But if I face him with the national team, he's annoying."</p>

WHAT ROMERO SAID

<p>It seems as if a Tottenham exit has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-atletico-madrid-alert-cristian-romero-huge-tottenham-transfer-hint-plan-look-for-new-places/blt0695b9e6d73fb9bf" target="_blank">on the cards for some time</a> for Romero. The 27-year-old wants to head to Spain one day but perhaps the promise of Champions League football after their <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristian-romero-wins-europa-league-player-of-season-tottenham-four-players-named-team-tournament-glory/blt74fb27eb189773b6" target="_blank">Europa League trophy win</a> will convince him to stay for a while yet.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Romero, whose Tottenham contract runs until 2027, is likely to feature for Argentina against Chile and Colombia on June 6 and 11, respectively, before a possible Spurs transfer exit comes to fruition.</p>
