Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero has been linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent months.
According to Football Insider, the North London club will not entertain offers for the 26-year-old World Cup winner any time soon.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid plan to step up their pursuit of the 26-year-old defender who is a long-term target for them. Brazilian international Eder Militao is sidelined with a serious injury and Real Madrid are now desperate to sign a defender. The Spanish outfit are without David Alaba, who is sidelined with a knee injury as well.
Romero has a contract with Tottenham until 2027 and Tottenham are under no pressure to cash in on him right now. Real Madrid will have to come forward with an absurd amount of money to convince them. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
The report states that Tottenham want to improve their defensive unit in January instead of selling a key player. They are looking to sign a quality central defender who will complete their defensive unit for the future.
The 39-cap Argentine international is undoubtedly one of the best defenders in the league and he would be an exceptional acquisition for Real Madrid. He has helped his country win the World Cup and the Copa America. There is no doubt that he is good enough enough for La Liga and he could help Real Madrid win major trophies as well.
The South American defender is yet to win major trophies at club level and he will be desperate to do that. Moving to Real Madrid could be ideal for him. They have a proven track record of challenging for league titles and Champions League trophies. Romero could get to fulfil his ambitions with them and it would not be a surprise if he is tempted to join the Spanish club.
