Tottenham's vice-captain Christian Romero is receiving explosive attention from Atletico Madrid in Spain's La Liga. There is even a story that Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone calls Romero every day.
Romero is a leader in Tottenham's defensive camp. Under the newly appointed Tottenham manager Thomas Frank, he is considered a key player to lead young defenders. This is why Tottenham cannot easily sell Romero.
Give Me Sports, England, said on the 22nd (Korea time) "Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone calls Tottenham Hotspur defender Christian Romero every day to persuade him to move to La Liga," he reported.
Tottenham secured a place in the Champions League by winning the UEFA Europa League despite its poor performance in 17th place in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season. After replacing manager Enze Postecoglou and appointing Thomas Frank as the new manager, he is expected to be busy in the transfer market this summer.

However, the biggest problem Frank will face is the future of vice-captain Christian Romero. Romero is attracting interest from several clubs and has yet to make a clear stance on staying at Tottenham.
In March, Tottenham changed their position to allow Romero to transfer to some extent, and Atletico Madrid has been steadily interested.
However, after winning the Europa League and securing tickets to the Champions League, Tottenham seems to have changed its position again.
The club reportedly wants Romero to stay, seeing him as the core of the new managerial system. Director Frank also considers Romero an important resource in his project.
Tottenham are persuading Romero to stay in the team by offering to renew his contract, while Atletico Madrid boss Simeone is said to be persuading him by phone every day.
Tottenham will likely want an astronomical transfer fee if they want to sell Romero. It is predicted that Romero's transfer fee will be set near 50 million pounds (about 92.3 billion won).
Romero is a world-class defender. The weekly wage is around 165,000 pounds (about 300 million won), and he has mentioned in past interviews that he wants to play in Spain's La Liga. The persistent match between Tottenham and Simeone is expected to take place during the summer transfer market.
The media reports "Tottenham is going all out to protect Romero despite Simeone's persistent approach"His future is expected to be determined within the next few weeks."
