Tottenham Hotspur, which has revealed serious problems in the player management system, is on the verge of being dismantled in the air. No matter how good the conditions are, the players try to escape the team first.
Christian Romero (25), who Tottenham was persuading to stay by offering the highest condition over Son Heung-min (33), is a representative case. Romero is determined to transfer. In addition, a new club that strongly wants such Romero has also emerged. A transfer is almost certainly going to happen in the summer transfer market.
Team Talk, a British soccer media outlet, reported on the 26th (Korea time) 'Atletico Madrid (AT Madrid) has newly jumped in to recruit Romero in the summer transfer market' As a result, Romero received the attention of both Real Madrid and AT Madrid. Neither club is at the level of 'just stabbing'. Romero's career path is expected to be decided by one of the two clubs.
Romero, who is also Tottenham's vice-captain, joined Tottenham through the transfer market in the summer of 2022 and has become the core of the defense. The skill is certain. However, he is also criticized for being a "glass body". Especially this season, I wasted most of my time on rehabilitation.
Romero, who injured his toe after joining the Argentine national team during the A-match in November last year, returned to the starting lineup against Chelsea on December 9, a month later. However, he was replaced by a quadriceps injury in his thigh in just 15 minutes. This injury was quite significant. Romero had to rehabilitate for three months.
In this case, he returned in early March, and immediately left for the national team during the A-match period. Tottenham fans criticized Romero. But Romero also had an inside job. He escaped to the national team because he was tired of the inability of Tottenham's medical staff.

Spurs Web reported on the 23rd that Romero expressed dissatisfaction with Tottenham's medical staff's treatment of injuries. Romero moaned mostly due to injuries when he was with Tottenham. Curiously, however, he played on the ground in good health when it came time to join the Argentine national team. This is also why he was criticized by Tottenham fans.
However, Romero argues that while Tottenham's medical staff are incompetent, they were able to recover from their injuries thanks to the Argentine national team's medical staff.
Apart from this conflict, Tottenham is actively seeking to renew the contract with Romero, who has two years left on his contract. He said he would give more weekly pay than Son Heung-min, who is currently the No. 1 weekly wage player in the team. He even planned to bring down Son Heung-min and use Romero as the team's ace.

However, Romero does not look forward to Tottenham's courtship. He is pursuing a transfer to Real Madrid, which has been interested in him for a long time. Originally, Real coach Carlo Ancelotti wanted Romero, the winner of Argentina, right after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Romero has continued to refuse to go to Real, but he is likely to accept going to Real, full of disappointment with Tottenham.
On top of that, even a rival club appeared. Team Talk quoted a report by Spanish media outlet Lelebo saying 'AT Madrid is looking for a new central defender. Romero is currently at the top of the list of recruits. It can enter the competition with Real Madrid to recruit players.
The stock price of Romero is currently at its highest peak. If this time is missed, the ransom could fall. If Romero knows how to make a reasonable judgment in personal career management, it is only natural to leave Tottenham. In the end, Tottenham are likely to lose another key central defender. be incapable of catching.
