Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero has been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season.
Clubs like Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are reportedly keen on the player, and a report from Football Insider claims that Tottenham may “have to accept” a big offer for the Argentine defender in the summer.
The report claims that Tottenham had a different attitude towards his future 12 months ago, and they were not prepared to sanction his departure at any price. It seems that the north London club have now performed a U-turn on his future.
Cristian Romero has been a key player
There is no doubt that the 26-year-old is the best defender at the club and losing him would be a blow for Tottenham. It will be interesting to see if they can replace him adequately. They have looked quite vulnerable defensively, this season and losing their best defender will weaken them further.
It has been a disappointing season for Tottenham, and they already need multiple signings in order to turn things around. Replacing a key player will be a massive challenge for them, especially if they miss out on European football for the next season. Attracting top players will become difficult for them.
Tottenham are still very much in with a chance of securing European football for the next season. However, they are unlikely to do it through league positions. They have made it to the semifinals of the UEFA Europa League, and it will be interesting to see if they can win the tournament.
As for Romero, he will want to compete at the highest level. He has proven himself at club level and for his country. He will want to join a big club capable of winning major trophies now.
