Tottenham Hotspur will reportedly demand at least £60 million to part ways with 27-year-old Argentine centre-back Cristian Romero in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Cristian Romero is the subject of interest from Atletico Madrid. The Spanish giants are keen on bolstering their defensive unit by signing a centre-back in the summer transfer window. So, the 27-year-old Tottenham Hotspur mainstay has emerged as a target for Los Rojiblancos.
The latest report has revealed that the Lilywhites are ready to cash in on the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner in the summer transfer window. Tottenham will demand at least £60 million to part ways with Romero in the coming months. The 2024/25 UEFA Europa League winners are “prioritsing long-term stability over retaining stars” amid the shift to a new sporting policy.
How has Cristian Romero fared at Tottenham?
Cristian Romero has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Tottenham Hotspur from Atalanta. The North London outfit initially signed the 27-year-old on loan for the 2021/22 season before completing a permanent move in August 2022. The Argentine international helped Tottenham win the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League, and he has also enjoyed tremendous success with his national side.
The South American defender has made over 150 appearances for the North London club while chipping in with 13 goals and seven assists. However, Romero faces an uncertain future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the situation capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs, including Atletico Madrid.
La Liga move on the horizon?
Cristian Romero has been on Atletico Madrid’s radar for a long time. The continued interest makes sense, as Diego Simeone wants more options at the heart of the defence. Additionally, recent reports have claimed that Jose Maria Gimenez faces an uncertain future at Atletico Madrid heading into the summer transfer window.
Several candidates have thus emerged on Los Rojiblancos’ wishlist, with Romero also a viable target. The latest report has boosted Atletico Madrid’s prospects, as Tottenham will be open to cashing in on the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner in the summer transfer window.
The North London club will demand at least £60 million to part ways with the 27-year-old Argentine international in the summer transfer window. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Romero as he looks to get away from the miseries at Tottenham in the coming months.
