Christian Romero has already spoken with Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone.
Reporter Sasha Tabolieri, who works for Sky Sports in France and is known as a transfer market expert, said on the 31st (Korea time) "There is already a transfer that is naturally going in the right direction. Romero, who is interested in Atletico's project, has already spoken to Simeone by phone. Tottenham's Romero, who is considered Simeone's top priority, reportedly feels good about joining Atletico.
Reporter Tabolieri added "There is still a need for an agreement between the two clubs, but Romero has already considered a move to Atletico. Personal terms will not be a problem at all for Romero's transfer. Discussions have already begun between Romero officials and AtleticoRomero and Atletico have entered pre-negotiations for a transfer, he said.
Romero is a key player and vice-captain for Tottenham. There is no buyout clause, and Tottenham does not have to sell Romero unconditionally because there is still two years left on the contract. It is similar to the situation Harry Kane wanted to move to Manchester City in the past. The key is whether Atletico's proposal can satisfy Tottenham.
Reporter Tabolieri also "The biggest obstacle to this transfer is the price Tottenham are asking for. To date, Romero is considered a non-transferable player to Chairman Daniel Levy"Still, Levy could demand up to 80 million euros (W127.3 billion) if he accepts Romero's possible transfer, which led Argentina to a World Cup win in 2022."He said he would need a huge transfer fee to take Romero."
80 million euros is a huge transfer fee that is close to the highest transfer fee for a defender in football history. Another question is whether Atletico will be able to pay the transfer fee to the level Tottenham wants. Paying €80 million to a 1998-born centre-back with minor injuries throughout the season is actually hard to say is a good recruit from Atletico's point of view.
The way to cut Tottenham's asking price is Romero's action. Making the club sell themselves while requesting a transfer. However, the act of requesting a transfer is not an easy option because it is a last resort that a player can take and a decision to turn Tottenham fans into enemies.
Reporter Tabolieri "Will Romero go into battle to join Atletico, where Simeone is waiting for him with open arms? We have to wait and see if Romero will use it as a last resort, he said.
