Departing Tottenham captain Cristian Romero has posted a goodbye message on social media, relfecting on his five years at the club.
Romero's move to Atletico Madrid was confirmed on Saturday, with the La Liga side paying £34.2m for the 28-year-old Argentina centre-back, who has joined on a five-year deal.
"I know I wasn't perfect," Romero posted on X.
"But one thing gives me peace: I always gave everything. I defended this shirt with pride and with all my heart."
Romero joined Tottenham from Atalanta in 2021 and became a mainstay in their defence, making 156 appearances.
His best moment with Spurs was helping the club win their first trophy in 17 years as they beat Manchester United in the 2025 Europa League final.
"When I arrived, I had a clear dream: to leave my name in this club's history," he added.
"I knew the only way was through hard work, sacrifice and achieving something that had seemed so difficult for so long: lifting a trophy again. And we did it.
"I'm leaving the club, but a part of my heart will always remain here. Once I was one of you. Today, I leave as one of you forever.
"With all my love and respect. Thank you for everything."
