La Liga champions Real Madrid have reportedly contacted Tottenham to know about the conditions to sign Cristian Romero, who will cost around €60 million.
According to a report by Ole, as relayed by Sport Witness, Cristian Romero is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The Merengues are not contemplating launching the offensive for the Argentine international anytime soon. However, they have contacted Tottenham to ask about the conditions to sign the €60 million-rated defender.
The rise of Cristian Romero at Tottenham
Cristian Romero has established himself as one of the best defenders in the Premier League since joining Tottenham Hotspur from Atalanta. The North London club initially completed a loan deal for him in 2021 before sealing a permanent transfer a year later.
The Argentine international has been a mainstay at the back for Tottenham in the last three years, turning out nearly 100 times while chipping in with six goals and one assist. Meanwhile, Romero was a part of the squad that won the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
The 26-year-old defender’s progress in the last three years has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. Romero’s next destination might be Real Madrid, with recent reports heavily linking him with the reigning La Liga champions. Meanwhile, Tottenham will demand around €60 million to part ways with him.
Set for a big move to La Liga?
Real Madrid’s interest in Cristian Romero is understandable. Los Blancos will part ways with Nacho in the summer transfer window, with the veteran Spaniard on the verge of completing a Bosman move to Al-Ittihad. In addition, Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba are on the wrong side of 30.
So, it behoves Real Madrid to invest in a centre-back in the summer transfer window. Romero has thus emerged as a viable target for Los Blancos, with the club contacting Tottenham to ask about the conditions for selling the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner. And the most crucial information is the price tag, which should be around €60 million.
It is unclear if Tottenham will be open to parting ways with the 26-year-old in the summer transfer window. While Real Madrid might not launch the offensive for the Argentine international anytime soon, he is an option if they want to sign a centre-back this summer.
