Romero in sight: A stellar signing for Atleti?
Atlético de Madrid has Cristian ‘Cuti’ Romero, the talented Tottenham defender, in their sights as a star reinforcement for the 25/26 season. Simeone considers him a key piece and has already spoken with the player to express his desire to have him at the Metropolitano.
Cuti, for his part, has expressed his interest in playing in LaLiga, which would bring him closer to the Rojiblanco club. Tottenham, aware of Atleti’s interest and the player’s desire, will not facilitate his departure.
Initially, there is talk of a figure of 70 million euros, although Atlético hopes for a reduction. The English club is confident of retaining him, offering him the possibility of playing in the Champions League after winning the Europa League against Manchester United, where Romero was named MVP, and an improved contract.
Faced with Tottenham’s position, Atleti would be willing to negotiate directly with Daniel Levy, president of the English club, taking advantage of the good relationship between both boards. The negotiation is expected to be long and complex, although Atleti’s determination and the player’s desire could be decisive in seeing Romero dressed in red and white.
