Atletico Madrid are in talks with Tottenham Hotspur over a potential transfer for Tottenham captain Cristian Romero. Multiple outlets report that Romero is expected to leave Spurs this summer, and Atletico’s negotiations focus on agreeing a deal with Tottenham over the transfer fee. One report says Spurs are still seeking a substantial fee, believed to be around £40 million.
Romero is described as interested in moving to Spain, with some coverage stating he wants an Atletico move and views the club as a clear front-runner. Sources also link the player’s desire to work with Diego Simeone, citing familiarity with the coach and a preference for a move within Spain.
Other clubs are mentioned as potential contenders. The Athletic notes that Arsenal has shown interest, but suggests Tottenham would be reluctant to sell the captain to a direct rival. With this in mind, the discussion centers on Atletico and other possible suitors, including Inter Milan, as likelier options if Tottenham allow the transfer to proceed. Reports indicate personal terms are not expected to be a major obstacle for Romero.
