Romero's attempt to 'de-Tottenham" is on the verge of collapse. This is because Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy suddenly set the lower limit of the transfer fee while preparing to leave for Atletico Madrid in the Spanish Primera Liga as he wanted. Atletico Madrid wants as much as 60 million pounds (about 111.7 billion won), which is not easy to afford, according to reports.

Tottenham Hotspur Chairman Daniel Levy's typical 'businessman temperament' has appeared again. It is a method of leading the negotiations in an advantageous way by inflating the ransom by taking a hostage of a player who is nearing a transfer. In the end, the opponent has no choice but to fulfill chairman Levi's request or give up trying to recruit him. This time, Christian Romero has become Chairman Levi's `hostage.'
Romero's attempt to 'Tottenham' is on the verge of collapse.

Atletico Madrid wants as much as 60 million pounds (about 111.7 billion won), which is not easy to afford, according to reports.
The British media Telegraph reported on the 26th (Korea time) 'Tottenham club has firmly rejected Atletico Madrid's attempt to take Romero at a cheap price. Chairman Levy put Romero's value at more than £60m' In other words, it means that it will never sell under £60 million in transfer fees.

Romero, who led Tottenham to the UEFA Europa League title along with Son Heung-min as vice-captain in 2024-2025, was already showing signs of 'Tottenham' from the end of the season. In particular, in March, he indirectly criticized the Tottenham medical system.
Romero has not played properly since the beginning of last season due to overlapping injuries. Romero, who injured his foot while playing against Paraguay for the Argentine national team in November last year, returned to Chelsea in December after suffering a femoral quadriceps injury 15 minutes into the match and had to rehabilitate for another three months.
However, Romero indirectly stated that the reason for this prolonged rehabilitation was due to the incompetence of the Tottenham medical system.
Romero joined Argentina's national team on March 22 and indirectly criticized Tottenham's medical staff in interviews with Argentine media, including 'tyCSports' after the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup Latin American qualifiers. At the time, Romero "Originally an injury that could have come back much sooner, but it was delayed for months without incident. Then everything became very complicated"The Argentine national team's medical staff saved me, so I was able to play in the stadium again." I'm always grateful. I would like to thank the Argentine national team medical staff and physical therapists for allowing me to return."
This means that the rehabilitation was unnecessarily prolonged due to the incompetence of Tottenham's medical staff, and he was able to recover only when he came to the Argentine national team. In other words, it targeted Tottenham's medical system.

In April, in an interview with TyC Sport's Gaston Edul, "We are in the Europa League semi-finals, so we will finish the season in our best form. The future remains to be seen. I am focusing on finding an environment where I can continue to grow. I want to play in a league like Spain that I've never experienced before`Tottenham Declaration' he openly said.
It was Atletico Madrid, led by coach Diego Simeone, that sent Romero such a hot love call. In particular, did director Simeone want "Cuti" (Romero's nickname) in public? Of course. He is a great player," he said, expressing his intention to recruit him.
The Spanish media then reported that Romero kept in touch with Simeone and expressed his desire to play in Spain.
Romero, who showed his willingness to escape Tottenham, immediately expressed his criticism of the club by sending a message of gratitude to the former coach Postecoglou on his personal SNS when the club replaced Enze Postecoglou and appointed Thomas Frank shortly after winning the Europa League.
At the time, Romero was grateful to have spent two fantastic seasons with Postecoglou. Thank you for always paving the way for me, even though I met so many obstacles and I know they will continue to exist"Postecoglou was a great man and coach and deserves the best moment." he wrote. It is an incident that made Tottenham club and coach Frank feel difficult at the same time.

Coach Frank also expressed his displeasure with Romero. In his first official interview with the club since taking office, he mentioned the plans for the new season and the names of key players, but did not mention the names of Son Heung-min and Romero. It is evaluated as an interview that revealed that he does not intend to be together in the new season.
In the end, Romero's departure from Tottenham was almost considered a given through these events. Atletico Madrid has also been more active in recruiting Romero.
However, Romero's smooth-looking trip to Atletico Madrid was suddenly stopped. Chairman Levi demonstrated the strategy of 'Raising the Body Price'. The Telegraph's Matt Roe said that Romero will participate in Tottenham's pre-season training from the second week of next month, but his future remains uncertain. "Tottenham is adamant about Romero's transfer fee. It is questionable whether Atletico Madrid can afford more than £60 million in transfer fees.
This is due to chairman Levi's firm will. Outside officials are consistent "President Levi always prefers informal and closed-door forms of negotiation. There is little precedent for making concessions when he comes out under public pressure,' he said, adding that he would never concede the £60 million transfer fee to Romero.
In the end, Atletico Madrid cannot take Romero without offering more than £60 million. Above all, Romero has a contract with Tottenham until 2027, so he doesn't have much choice. If this happens, Romero could sit back at Tottenham with full of complaints. Attention is focusing on what the outcome will be of chairman Levi's temperament as a merchant to maximize only the profits of the transfer fee.
