Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero has been heavily linked with a move away from the club this summer, but the North London outfit are not prepared to lose him easily.
According to a report from GMS, influential figures at the club, including Daniel Levy, are hoping to persuade the player to continue in the Premier League with them. They are not ready to lose their best defender easily, and it will be interesting to see if they can convince him to stay.
Atletico Madrid remain keen
The defender is reportedly valued at £65 million, and he is on the radar of Spanish club, Atletico Madrid. It will be interesting to see if the La Liga side decides to come forward with an official offer to sign the player in the coming weeks. The player has recently admitted that he would love to play in La Liga.
They need to improve their defensive unit in order to challenge for major trophies, and the 27-year-old is certainly one of the best around.
Meanwhile, Tottenham are hoping that securing Champions League qualification will be enough to convince their best players to stay at the club. They will need to convince the defender of their ambitions, and it remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
Tottenham must keep Cristian Romero
Keeping Romero at the club beyond this summer would be a huge boost for Tottenham. They will be hoping to fight for trophies next season as well, and having a “world-class” player like him at their disposal would be ideal.
Even though Tottenham have secured Champions League qualification for the next season, replacing a world-class player like Romero will be very difficult for them. He is not only a key player for them, but he is also one of the leaders of the dressing room. Keeping him at the club will be an absolute priority for the North London outfit.
