Tottenham Hotspur are desperate to keep Cristian Romero at the club beyond this season despite interest from Atletico Madrid.
As per a report by Give Me Sport, La Liga giants Atletico Madrid are hoping to sign Cristian Romero this summer, and Tottenham cannot afford to lose a player of his calibre. It will be interesting to see if they can convince the 27-year-old to stay on. Spurs have secured Champions League qualification for the 2025/26 season, and they have a talented squad.
If Tottenham can bring in a quality manager in the summer, there is no doubt that they could be pushing for trophies next season as well. The North London outfit have managed to win the UEFA Europa League this season, and it remains to be seen whether they can convince the World Cup winner to stay at the club.
Tottenham need Romero to stay
Tottenham will need to convince Cristian Romero that this is the right place for him to fulfil his ambitions. The 2022 FIFA World Cup winner is a world-class player who has already won multiple trophies with his country. He will look to win trophies at the club level now.
Atletico Madrid are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them can be hard to turn down. The Argentine international will be able to play alongside several international teammates at the Spanish club, and he would get to work with Diego Simeone as well. There is no doubt that it will be an attractive destination for the player.
It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can scupper the Spanish club’s plans to sign Cristian Romero. They are demanding £65 million for the defender, and it will be difficult for the Spanish outfit to afford him. Los Rojiblancos need to improve the other areas of their squad as well, and spending a premium on the defender might not be possible. They will be hoping to negotiate a more reasonable deal for the defender.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has a reputation for being a difficult man to negotiate with, and it remains to be seen whether he can keep the defender at the club beyond this season. It would be a massive boost for them, and it could help them bounce back strongly next season.
