Tottenham fans will be holding their breath in the upcoming transfer window as Cristian Romero could potentially leave.
The Argentina international has been one of the best players in N17 over the years, but he may opt to depart North London soon.
Romero has been linked with a move to Atletico Madrid, with the La Liga outfit interested in signing arguably one of English football’s best centre-backs.
Ange Postecoglou’s team are 17th in the Premier League, and supporters will undoubtedly be worried about the 27-year-old defender being lured away from the Lilywhites.
Romero called by Diego Simeone regarding Tottenham transfer exit
Romero’s phone has been blowing up as Atletico look to sign him, according to Gaston Edul via Mundo Deportivo.
The news outlet reports (20 May) that Simeone has been consistently calling the centre-back after approving his potential addition in the upcoming transfer window.
It’s been claimed that the hardest bit for the La Liga outfit is reaching an agreement with Spurs, with a huge offer needed.
| Competition | Appearances | Minutes played | Points per match |
| Premier League | 18 | 1420 | 1.11 |
The North London outfit should be concerned about the Spanish giants’ constant efforts to convince the 27-year-old to leave the Lilywhites.
Postecoglou’s future at Spurs is uncertain after a poor season, but injuries to Romero and Micky van de Ven didn’t help him.
Without the North London outfit’s preferred centre-back pairing, the Australian manager struggled to bring defensive solidity to the team, with the likes of Kevin Danso, Radu Dragusin and Ben Davies underwhelming.
Daniel Levy can’t sanction Romero transfer
Daniel Levy should try to keep Romero at Tottenham instead of cashing in on the World Cup winner in the upcoming transfer window.
While the Argentine defender frustrates at times with his petulance, the centre-back’s passion is evident whenever he steps onto the pitch.
The 27-year-old is undoubtedly the best defender at the North London outfit, and it’d be a shame to see him leave.
If the Lilywhites win the Europa League title, they might be able to convince Romero to stay with the prospect of Champions League football.
Spurs need to keep their best players if they hope to get back to competing for a top-four spot in the Premier League.
Losing the Argentina international will mean the North London outfit must invest a significant sum in signing a replacement for him.
