Reports indicate that Los Colchoneros are putting together an opening bid of around €30 million to tempt Tottenham Hotspur into parting ways with star center-back Cristian “Cuti” Romero.
Word on the street is that Romero is keen on a move to Spain. After proving his mettle in Serie A with Atalanta and in the Premier League with Tottenham, a new challenge in La Liga—under a manager who speaks his language and shares his football philosophy—is a very attractive proposition. It’s also understood that personal terms would not be an issue if the two clubs can strike a deal.
Atlético Madrid’s financial reality means they will likely need to execute several player sales before officially submitting a formal, binding bid while Spurs are notoriously tough negotiators, it will be seen Whether €30M will be enough to get Tottenham to the table remains to be seen, especially given Romero’s importance to their squad.
