It's a bolt out of the blue. Atletico Madrid (Spain) is aiming to recruit two key Tottenham (England) players at the same time.

Spanish media Football Spain announced on the 26th (Korea time) 'Atletico Madrid is planning a major reorganization of its squad in the summer transfer market ahead of the 2025-2026 season. Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone is targeting a variety of options. Christian Romero and Rodrigo Bentancur are expected to be on the wishlist, reports said.

Tottenham, led by manager Enze Postecoglou, are having their worst season. In the 2024-2025 season, he remains in 16th place with 11 wins, 4 draws and 18 losses (37 points) in 33 matches in the English Premier League. He was eliminated from the Carabao Cup and the English Football Association (FA) Cup. At least, he has reached the semifinals of the Europa League and continues to compete for the championship.




The future of the main players as well as Postecoglou is uncertain. Recently, rumors of transfers of key players such as Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison have emerged one after another through local media in the UK.

Football España said 'The situation in Tottenham remains unstable. Postecoglou is under real pressure. Tottenham are keen to retain Romero. However, Atletico Madrid reportedly will compete for 80 million euros to recruit Romero. Citing a report by another media outlet, The Times, the media said 'Atletico Madrid is expected to revive interest in Bentancur as well as Romero. Bentancur has been sidelined for a while due to injury. If he does not renew his contract with Tottenham, he will be in the order of sale. Bentancourt has signed a contract with Tottenham until 2026. Tottenham could be offered a deal worth around £25m to avoid the possibility of a free agent transfer for Bentancourt, it said.

Meanwhile, Romero said in a recent interview with TyC Sports that he would like to play in Spain's Primera Liga. It's because it's a place I haven't run before." Romero left Atalanta (Italy) for the 2021-2022 season and joined Tottenham on loan. He played 22 games in the EPL in his first season. Tottenham fully acquired Romero in August 2022. He played in 27 league games in the 2022-2023 season and 33 EPL games in the 2023-2024 season. He was appointed vice-captain last summer.
