Tottenham has no intention of letting Christian Romero go easily.
Argentina's Tyc Sports said on the 27th (Korea time) 'Romero is a major recruit for Atletico Madrid ahead of the upcoming transfer market, and his transfer potential is a wake-up call for Tottenham. Manager Enze Postecoglou strongly wants Romero to stay, reports said.
Postecoglou said after the last Brighton match that "it is absolutely vital that Romero remains in this team. His teammates have great respect for him. I don't have to worry, either. If he leaves, who should he replace him with? There are not many players like Romero. Maintaining Romero's capture is important both now and in the long run. He stressed the importance of Romero.
Romero is contemplating the future with two years left on his contract with Tottenham. I don't know how Romero's mind would have changed because Tottenham advanced to the European Champions League (UCL) next season after winning the Europa League (UEL), but Romero before the UEL victory clearly tried to leave Tottenham.
As Romero contemplates his future at Tottenham, Atletico have been paying strong attention to Romero since April. Argentine national master Diego Simeone personally called and persuaded the player.
Tottenham's attitude is the key, with Romero and Arletico not likely to have any problems in negotiations. Tottenham's leadership thought was no different from Postecoglou's remarks. Tyc Sports explained that Tottenham are not willing to help Romero with his transfer, and chairman Daniel Levy has asked Atletico for nearly 70 million euros (W109.1 billion).
The fact that 70 million euros was set aside for Romero means that he has no intention of selling a player. Atletico is Spain's third-largest big club, but it is not a team that can afford to invest more than 100 billion won in defenders entering their late 20s. The highest transfer fee for a defender in Atletico's history is only 35 million euros (about 54.5 billion won) paid when it hired Robain-le-Nordan a year ago.
However, Tottenham cannot blindly catch Romero. Romero has two years left on his contract. It is time for Tottenham to be increasingly chased by time over Romero's future. If Romero does not renew his contract or transfer next summer, he will have to release the player for free in 2027.
England's The Standard also said on the 26th that Tottenham's biggest concern will be whether he will be able to turn down a huge offer for Romero and risk entering the final year of his contract if he is reluctant to renew his contract. Romero should consider returning to the UCL and Postecoglou's future could also affect Romero's position. The two are close friends.
