Cuti Romero: Top Target to Strengthen Atlético's Defense
Atlético de Madrid, led by Simeone, has a clear target to reinforce their defense: Cristian ‘Cuti’ Romero. The Argentine center-back, recently named MVP of the Europa League, is considered a key piece to take the team to the next level and become a leader both on the field and in the dressing room.
His outstanding performance in the Europa League, where Tottenham prevailed against Manchester United, has only reinforced the idea that Romero is the right man to shore up the Rojiblanca defense.
Although Tottenham’s qualification for the Champions League could make his signing more expensive, Atlético’s management is willing to make an effort. A crucial factor in Atlético’s favor is Romero’s own desire to wear the Rojiblanca shirt.
His recent statements, after receiving the MVP award, suggest a possible farewell to Tottenham. However, his signing will not be easy, as the English club will seek to obtain a good sum for the world champion, whose market value is 55 million.
Julián Álvarez has spoken about the convenience of this signing. Despite the difficulties, Atlético is convinced that Romero is the ‘kaiser’ they need in defense and is willing to negotiate with Tottenham to achieve his incorporation. The Rojiblanca fans eagerly await the arrival of the Argentine center-back, who could become a reference point and a fundamental pillar of the team.
