The ransom of Tottenham's 'Walkl' center back Christian Romero is going through the roof.
England's Football London' reported on the 29th (Korean time) that President Daniel Levy set a huge transfer fee while Romero was receiving attention from Real Madrid ahead of the summer transfer market.
Chairman Levi is demanding 100 million pounds (about 190 billion won) for Romero's transfer fee. Britain's 'Independent' said when Real Madrid expressed interest in Romero, Chairman Levy said more than 100 million pounds should be paid. 'Express' went a step further, claiming that 'Real Madrid did not pursue a transfer at a huge price.
As expected, Tottenham holds the key. Argentina international Romero settled at Tottenham on loan for the 2021-2022 season and made a full transfer in August 2022.
Romero played 22 games in the English Premier League (EPL) in his first season, 27 in the 2022-2023 season and 33 in the last season. It has also established itself as Tottenham's leading group. He was appointed as vice-captain last summer and leads the team with Son Heung-min, another vice-captain James Maddison, and Guglielmo Vicario.

Romero has been on and off with injuries this season. He moaned due to a toe injury during the A-match in November last year. He returned briefly against Chelsea on December 9 last year, but disappeared after being replaced 15 minutes into the first half. It was a thigh injury.
Romero returned to the game against Bournemouth on the 9th. It's been three months. He played only 14 games in this EPL.
The future is in the fog. Romero's contract runs through June 2027. Tottenham's plan is to hurry to hold Romero on a long-term contract as it enters its last two years after the end of this season.
If he signs a new contract, he also promises the highest treatment beyond Son Heung-min. It is expected to soar from the current weekly wage of 165,000 pounds (about 314.2 million won) to 200,000 pounds (about 380.9 million won). Currently, Son Heung-min, who is known to receive 190,000 pounds (about 361.8 million won), is the best player at Tottenham.
But Romero is sour. He is aiming to play in the European Champions League steadily, but it is not easy at Tottenham. Tottenham will not be able to compete in next season's European tournament unless they win the Europa League this season.

Tottenham can't just wait. In order to receive a proper transfer fee, there are few transfer markets this summer. Tottenham decide to sell Romero if he doesn't sign new deal before summer market opensThat's why there are reports.
Real Madrid is the only club with Romero's eyes. Atletico Madrid is also looking to recruit. Atletico Madrid hopes to complete its recruitment for 75 million pounds (about 143 billion won).
However, negotiations with chairman Levi are not easy for any club. He is notorious for his philosophy of getting the maximum without concession.
