Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero has been linked with a move away from the club, and Atletico Madrid want to sign him.
According to GMS, the player is leaning towards a move away from the North London outfit, and it will be interesting to see if the two clubs can finalise an agreement. Diego Simeone is an admirer of the Argentine international defender.
Tottenham are hoping to tie him down to a new deal. The player has two years left on his £165,000 a week contract, and it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds.
Julian Alvarez is acting as a middleman
The report claims that Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez is now trying to convince the player to join up with him at Atletico Madrid.
The former Manchester City striker has been outstanding for the Spanish club, and he scored 29 goals for them last season. It will be interesting to see if he can convince his compatriot to join him at the La Liga club.
Tottenham should keep Cristian Romero
Romeo is undoubtedly the best defender at the club, and losing him would be a blow for Tottenham. He produced an outstanding performance in the final of the UEFA Europa League and helped Tottenham end their wait for a trophy.
Keeping him at the club should be a priority for Tottenham this summer. They are looking to build a formidable squad for the future, and they must hold onto their best players. They will be competing in the UEFA Champions League next year, and they need quality defenders.
Romero has won the World Cup and the Copa America with his country. He has won the Europa League with Tottenham. The defender will now look to challenge for major trophies like the league title or the Champions League. He might feel that Tottenham are not in a position to challenge for those trophies yet. Joining Atletico Madrid could improve his chances of winning a major trophy.
