Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero has been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season, and Atletico Madrid want to sign him.
According to a report from AS, the 26-year-old defender’s camp has assured Atletico Madrid that the player will do his bit to force an exit. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham are prepared to let him move on.
The player’s camp will push for exit
The fact that the player’s representatives are handing out assurances regarding a summer move will come as a huge blow for them.
The player is clearly open to the transfer, and it will be a huge boost for the La Liga outfit. They are clearly in a stronger position when it comes to negotiating the move, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
The report claims that Romero is a priority target for Diego Simeone. Atletico Madrid are looking to improve their defensive unit, and it is no surprise that they are keen on the South American. He has established himself as one of the best defenders in the Premier League.
Cristian Romero wants a big move
Romero has already won the World Cup with his country, and he won the Copa America as well. He will want to win major trophies at the club level. Tottenham are not quite at the level required to win league titles or the Champions League. It is no surprise that the player is open to joining a big club.
It remains to be seen whether the two parties can secure an agreement in the coming weeks. Daniel Levy will not make it easy for the Spanish club to sign the defender. They will have to pay a premium to get the deal done.
