There is a growing possibility that Tottenham will lose key defender Christian Romero. Real Madrid also expressed interest in recruiting him.
Britain's The Sun reported on the 13th (Korea time) 'Real has targeted Tottenham star Romero for the summer to rebuild Xavi Alonso's defense.'
The Sun added 'Real will target Romero this summer to build a new defense. Xavi Alonso is known to be a big fan of Romero. He thinks Romero is the perfect player to help Real win next season. Tottenham may have no choice but to sell Romero after a miserable performance that ended this season in 17th place. Losing Romero would be a disaster for Tottenham.

Tottenham's possibility of Romero's transfer has continued to draw attention since the transfer market last winter. There has already been a prospect that Tottenham could let him go. Some British media outlets reported that `Tottenham's leadership is ready to issue an ultimatum to Christian Romero' and that `Tottenham will earn a transfer fee through Romero this summer if Romero does not sign a new contract before the end of this season. It is reported that Romero will be given an ultimatum. If the new contract fails, it will be sold.'"
Tottenham initially wanted to renew Romero's contract. Considering his position at Tottenham, it was a natural choice. Romero, who moved to Tottenham in 2021, has been playing the main role at Tottenham since joining the team. In the 2023-2024 season, coach Enze Postecoglou has shown a stronger position since his appointment. Romero, who began playing in Postecoglou's tactics, began to play properly. Based on his aggressive defense ability, he pressured his opponent from the front and showed a stable defense from the back. Romero still played a key role in the team this season.

However, interest from Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid shook Romero's heart. There are even further controversies such as participation in the European Champions League and Tottenham medical staff, and there are increasing claims that Romero could leave the team in the upcoming summer.
Atletico was initially considered the most likely destination. There was even news that Romero had a phone call with manager Diego Simeone for Atletico's transfer. Two days ago, Realtico wants to reinforce its defense in the coming summer and is reportedly aiming for Romero as its top priority. In this situation, even Real is recruiting at the request of Alonso, and it is not easy for Tottenham to protect Romero in the upcoming summer.
