Real Madrid are reportedly looking to sign the Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero at the end of the season.
A report from Fichajes claims that the Spanish giants are keeping tabs on the 24-year-old Argentine defender.
However, Romero is not the priority target at Santiago Bernabeu and the Spanish giants will look to sign Josko Gvardiol. If they fail to sign the Croatian international at the end of the season, they will look to move for the Argentine World Cup winner.
Romero has established himself as one of the best defenders in the league since his move to Spurs and he was exceptional with his country in the recently concluded World Cup as well.
Romero was one of the key players as Argentina lifted the World Cup trophy and he could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition for Real Madrid.
The Spanish giants signed Antonio Rudiger at the start of the season but the German international has not been able to live up to the expectations.
It is no surprise that Carlo Ancelotti is looking to bring in defensive reinforcements and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Meanwhile, Romero is the best defender at Tottenham and his departure will be a massive blow for the London club.
The likes of Eric Dier, Clement Lenglet, and Davinson Sanchez have all been underwhelming this season, and losing Romero would weaken the Tottenham defence significantly.
Daniel Levy will be hoping to hold on to the player for the long run and the fact that the player has a long-term contract until the summer of 2027 will make it difficult for Real Madrid to convince the Premier League club.
Apparently, Carlo Ancelotti is a ‘fan’ of the Argentine defender and sees him as the ideal partner for Eder Militao.
The opportunity to join the Champions League winners could be a tempting proposition for the Argentine international and he could have his head turned by the interest.
It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few months.
