Atletico Madrid is looking to acquire Tottenham defender Cristian Romero in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Atletico Madrid is keen on signing Tottenham defender Cristian Romero during the summer transfer window. Recently linked with the 27-year-old South American, they are preparing a “serious proposal” that includes an upfront offer of €55 million, plus an additional €15 million in bonuses, according to a report from Fichajes.
Tottenham’s Position on Romero
It’s unclear if Tottenham will accept this offer, as they are reluctant to part with a key player like Romero this summer. However, the defender is open to exploring new opportunities. The situation remains fluid.
Tottenham’s defense was lackluster last season, and losing their top central defender would be a significant setback, especially since he played a crucial role in their UEFA Europa League victory.
Romero has achieved major success with his national team and aspires to compete at the highest levels in club football, including winning league titles and the Champions League. Atletico Madrid currently appears better positioned to contend for such honors, and he would also have the chance to play alongside his international teammates there.
Financial Considerations for Tottenham
The proposed €70 million package could be appealing for Tottenham. It will be interesting to see if Daniel Levy approves the sale of the defender, especially since they would need to find a suitable replacement. As they prepare for the UEFA Champions League next season, having a strong squad will be essential for their goal of returning to the Premier League’s top four.
