Report: Elite manager constantly calling Tottenham star, offer likely in coming weeks

Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months, and Atletico Madrid want to sign him.

The Spanish giants view him as a key addition this summer, and they are hoping to bring him in during the summer transfer window. According to Fichajes, Diego Simeone rates the player highly, and he has been in constant contact with the player.

The report also claims that Atletico Madrid are likely to present a strong offer in the coming weeks. It will be interesting to see if they can secure an agreement with Tottenham.

Romero will improve Atletico Madrid

The 26-year-old has been one of the best defenders in the league, and he would be an exceptional acquisition for the Spanish giants.

Atletico Madrid will be hoping to fight for major trophies next season, and they need to improve their squad. Signing a top-class defender like Romero would be a wise decision.

He has proven himself for club and country. Romero has already won the World Cup and Copa America with his country, and he will look to win major trophies at the club level.

Cristian Romero will fancy an exit

Although Tottenham have an ambitious project, they are not quite at the level required to win league titles and the Champions League. A move to Atletico Madrid could be quite tempting. He will also get to work under a world-class manager like Simeone at the Spanish club. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.

Tottenham will be disappointed to lose a player of his quality, but they could be powerless to stop him from leaving if the defender wants to force an exit. They should look to recoup as much as possible for him in the coming weeks.
