Colchonero Target: Romero in Sight
Atlético de Madrid has a clear goal to strengthen their defense: Cristian Romero. The Colchonero club, known for its strong Argentine connection, seeks to add another world champion to its ranks.
Julián Álvarez, Atlético’s forward, has publicly expressed his desire for Romero, currently at Tottenham Hotspur, to join the team. In statements to a sports outlet, Álvarez highlighted Romero’s qualities, describing him as one of the best centre-backs in the world and emphasizing his importance as a teammate in the Argentine national team.
The presence of a consolidated group of Argentines at Atlético could be a key factor in facilitating Romero’s adaptation to the club. Diego Simeone, Atlético’s coach, is a great admirer of Romero and considers his incorporation a priority for the next season.
Although the player would be willing to move to Madrid, negotiations with Tottenham could be complex. It is estimated that Atlético would be willing to invest between 40 and 50 million euros, although the English club could demand a higher figure. The Colchonero management is confident in reaching a favorable agreement to add Romero to its squad and further strengthen its defense.
