Cuti Romero: A Red and White Target for the Defense
Atlético de Madrid has its sights set on Cuti Romero, the Argentine center-back from Tottenham, as its main target to strengthen the defense. Simeone considers him the key piece for the back line, valuing his experience, veteran status, and his desire to wear the Red and White jersey.
The player, an Argentine international, is doing his part to facilitate his arrival at the Metropolitano in the 2025-26 season. Although Tottenham will not make it easy, Romero is determined to play for Atlético.
The Madrid club already tried to sign him in the past winter market, but now they see the ideal moment to finalize the operation. The player’s salary would not be a problem, as Romero is willing to adjust to the club’s possibilities. Negotiations with Tottenham will be key.
Atlético is confident in its experience in these types of situations, as demonstrated with the signings of Trippier (also from Tottenham) and Julián Alvarez. While high figures are being talked about in England, Atlético would not be willing to exceed 50 million euros for the player, whose market value is around 55 million. Despite the investment, the club is confident in amortizing Romero’s signing, given his age and potential to perform at the highest level.
