The Argentina worldwide has been closely linked with a transfer to Atletico Madrid all summer time, which has left followers feeling involved that they might lose one in all their finest gamers throughout an necessary squad rebuild beneath new boss Thomas Frank. The Danish tactician shall be keen to maintain the centre-back, particularly after Spurs misplaced Son Heung-min to Los Angeles FC and James Maddison to a critical knee harm.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has maintained all through the summer time that Cristian Romero shouldn’t be on the market, slapping an uncompromising £70million asking value on his head. Atletico Madrid have made an strategy to signal the 27-year-old final month however Tottenham shortly rebuffed their strategy. This led to Los Rojiblancos cooling their curiosity within the participant.

It appears to be like like Atletico Madrid’s curiosity in Romero has not fully died down. Now, in line with a report from Fichajes, the La Liga wish to revive their curiosity within the 2022 World Cup winner and signal him earlier than the switch window slams shut.
In reply, Tottenham take into account Romero ‘an untouchable asset’ and so they don’t have any plans to entertain any affords from anyplace, together with Atletico.

If this stuff make sense for Romero, he is not going to push for a transfer to Atletico and commit his future in north London.
