Romero dreams in red and white: Atlético in pole position
Atlético de Madrid remains firm in its interest in Cuti Romero, the talented Argentine centre-back, a priority target to strengthen the defence for next season. Negotiations began months ago, with the player openly showing his desire to join the Colchonero club.
Romero’s representative met with Atlético’s management to express the player’s desire to wear the red and white shirt. Romero’s desire to play under Simeone is a key factor.
The good relationship he maintains with his compatriots, such as Molina, De Paul, and Correa, who have told him wonders about the club and the city, also positively influences. The Argentine coach, upon learning of the defender’s desire, gave his approval to start negotiations.
However, the operation will not be easy. Tottenham, Romero’s current club, will not facilitate his departure, and its president is known to be a tough negotiator. Although relations between the two clubs are good after previous transfers, Atlético is aware of the difficulty involved in reaching an agreement.
In addition, the asking price set by Tottenham is high, although the player’s willingness is expected to help moderate the economic demands. Despite competition from other major European clubs, Romero’s priority is to play for Atlético.
His fit within the club’s economic parameters is a plus, although the possible entry of other contenders could complicate the operation. Atlético is confident in the player’s will and the good management of its directors to achieve his signing.
