Atletico, Barca, Real Linked to Tottenham's Romero

Tottenham defender Cristian Romero has publicly expressed interest in playing in La Liga and is open to new challenges, drawing attention from several top clubs including Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, and Real Madrid. Despite enduring an injury-hit season, Romero remains a key player for Tottenham and is focused on winning the Europa League before deciding his future. Atletico Madrid have reportedly made Romero their primary defensive target with a potential bid under £45 million, aiming to finalize a deal before the Club World Cup as they look to address expiring defensive contracts. Romero's recent criticism of Tottenham's squad depth and praise for Argentina’s medical staff have fueled speculation about his discontent at Spurs. The futures of both Romero and manager Ange Postecoglou could hinge on Tottenham's Europa League outcome amid pressure to end the club’s trophy drought. Atletico's pursuit is part of a broader strategy to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
