Cristian Romero has been heavily linked with a move away from Tottenham Hotspur ahead of the summer transfer window.
Cristian Romero has been linked with a move to La Liga, and it appears that Atletico Madrid could be the likeliest destination for him, as per a report by TEAMtalk. the Tottenham Hotspur captain has shown his quality in the Premier League, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for the Spanish club.
The Colchoneros need to add more quality and depth to their defensive unit, and signing a Premier League defender would be ideal. Romero is one of the best players in his position right now, and he will be tempted to join a big club.
The Argentine defender has already questioned the ambition of the North London outfit, and he will want to move on to a club where he can regularly fight for major trophies. Atletico Madrid will be able to provide him with that opportunity. Los Rojiblancos are one of the best clubs in Spain, and with a couple of intelligent additions, they could battle Barcelona and Real Madrid for the major trophies.
Romero could fancy a big move
Atletico Madrid recently scored five goals against Tottenham in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 first leg. It will be interesting to see if they can get a deal done for the South American defender. The 27-year-old is at the peak of his career, and he could hit the ground running in Spain. He could make an immediate impact and help Atletico Madrid improve.
Meanwhile, losing a player of his quality would be devastating for Tottenham. Romero is undoubtedly the best defender at the club, and they need to keep players like him if they want to fight for major trophies.
However, Spurs will be powerless to stop him from leaving if he decides to force a move. Tottenham are currently fighting for survival in the Premier League. They are not quite at the level required to compete for major trophies. It is no surprise that the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner has been linked with an exit.
