Real Madrid are keen on signing Cristian Romero from Tottenham Hotspur, but it won’t be easy for them to get the deal across the line.
According to Football Insider, Tottenham have no plans to sell the Argentine international, and they will demand a huge fee to sanction his departure.
The 26-year-old is undoubtedly the best defender at the club and he is an indispensable asset for them. Spurs need to keep him at the club if they are serious about challenging for trophies in the coming season. The Argentine international has already won major trophies with his country, and he will look to compete at the highest level with his club now.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can match up to his ambitions. The opportunity to play for Real Madrid can be quite tempting for any player and the defender will be attracted to the possibility of joining them. Real Madrid have a proven track record of pushing for league titles and Champions League trophies every season. They could help the South American defender fulfil his ambitions.
It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
Real Madrid need to find a quality long-term alternative to players like David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger. Romero would be an exceptional acquisition for them, but they will need to pay a premium for him. There is no doubt that they have the financial muscle to pay a substantial amount of money for the Argentine international.
It remains to be seen whether they are ready to break the bank for him.
Tottenham have an exciting project and a talented squad, but they are not quite at the level of Real Madrid yet, and it will be difficult for them to convince the player to stay if the interest from the Spanish club is genuine.
