Atletico Madrid has commenced negotiations concerning a potential transfer for Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero. The Argentine defender, who initially joined the London club from Atalanta in 2021 before completing a permanent switch, is widely anticipated to depart this summer despite recently committing to a four-year contract extension. While Inter Milan has also shown interest in the 28-year-old, Atletico manager Diego Simeone has prioritized securing the center-back for his squad.
Tottenham leadership acknowledges the interest from Spain and reportedly anticipates few obstacles in reaching an agreement on personal terms. Manager Roberto de Zerbi has stated he is prepared to honor the wishes of individuals seeking an exit. This development coincides with reports that teammate Micky van de Ven is nearing a contract extension with Spurs.
