Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero could be on the move this summer, with both Atletico and Real Madrid vying for his signature. The 26-year-old Argentine’s future is uncertain amid growing frustration over Spurs’ lack of investment and his criticism of the club’s medical team for mishandling his recovery during a defensive injury crisis.
Romero, who initially joined Tottenham on loan from Atalanta in 2021, has made 115 appearances but may now leave for a reduced fee. Atletico Madrid have emerged as strong contenders, with Diego Simeone eager to pair him with fellow Argentine stars Rodrigo De Paul, Angel Correa, and Nahuel Molina at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. Meanwhile, Real Madrid, long-term admirers of the World Cup winner, remain in the race. With tensions rising, a LaLiga switch for Romero seems increasingly likely in the upcoming transfer window.
