Romero Opens the Door to Atleti
Atlético de Madrid is looking to strengthen its defense for the upcoming season, and the name of Cristian ‘Cuti’ Romero, Argentine center-back from Tottenham, has been mentioned strongly.
With the possible departure of several defenders at the end of their contracts, the arrival of a player of Romero’s caliber would be a guaranteed reinforcement for Simeone. The ‘Rojiblanco’ club only has Le Normand and Giménez as fixed center-backs for next season.
Romero, in a recent interview, has fueled the rumors by expressing his desire to play in the Spanish La Liga. ‘La Liga is missing for me to play, I would love to play, it is the league that would be missing,’ admitted the defender, making it clear his interest in trying his luck in Spanish football.
Although he has not spoken directly with his agent, Romero is open to exploring new opportunities to continue growing professionally. Currently, he is focused on finishing the season in the best possible way with Tottenham and playing in the Europa League.
Although Tottenham is looking to obtain a significant figure for his transfer, the player’s willingness could be key to facilitating the operation. Atlético de Madrid values Romero’s experience and quality, but would not be willing to make an exorbitant investment. The possible incorporation of the Argentine center-back excites the ‘Rojiblanca’ fans, who see in him a leader to strengthen the team’s defense.
