Global media The Athletic reported on the 22nd (Korea time) 'Tottenham Hotspur defender Christian Romero said he wanted to play in La Liga'
Romero signed a five-year contract with Tottenham in the summer of 2022 with a full transfer from Italian Serie A Atalanta. Romero has only two years left on his contract with Tottenham at the end of this season.
Romero has continued to be at the center of the transfer controversy this year. La Liga's Atletico Madrid want to sign him, and Real Madrid are also reportedly considering signing a central defender this summer.
In a recent interview with an Argentine media outlet, Romero said "Lariga is the only one left. To be honest, I really want to run"Because it's the only league I haven't experienced yet." he said.
Romero has been struggling with injury this season, and he has only played 18 games in the English Premier League (EPL). Romero became controversial in December last year when he criticized the board over Tottenham's squad management.
Romero's complaint seems to be related to the team's performance. Tottenham have now lost 18 of their 33 league games. The current ranking is 16th. It is a historically poor performance.

Romero may be hoping to finish this season at Tottenham and leave. That's how desperate Romero is to win the Europa League.
Romero says "First and foremost, I try to live day by day. We're almost two months away from the end of the league, and we're always trying to put in the best performance. "I want to finish the season in the best way possible. We are in the Europa League semi-finals. It's important for the club because it's been a long time since they've come up to this stage. I want to win."
Romero took an active stance regarding his transfer.
Romero "Honestly, I haven't spoken to my agent yet. I am open. I always have the keyword "growth" in my head"There is also a desire to grow further in a new environment. But I don't think it's time to talk about that because the league is not over yet."
If Romero leaves the team next season, Tottenham captain Son Heung-min may feel empty. Currently in the squad, Romero is a player who has spent a long period of time with Tottenham along with Ben Davies and Son Heung-min.
