Atletico Madrid must be set in 2025 for another busy summer transfer window, because they will close the gap to Barcelona and Real Madrid next season. Diego Simeone wants a new high -quality defender to be added to his team, and at this stage their leading target is a player that is tailor -made for Los Colchoneros.
Atleti will say goodbye to Cesar Azpilicueta and Axel Witsel at the end of the season, and with Clement Lenglet also goes back to Barcelona when his loan agreement ends, there will be vacancies in the center-back ministerie of Simeone's Squad. And although it is certain that an attempt will be made to sign the latter again, another player will still be needed to go alongside Jose Maria Gimenez and Robin Le Normand.
Cristian Romero is the favorite goal of the club at this stage. It is also said that Real Madrid is interested in the Tottenham Hotspur defender, but at this stage their city rivals are ahead of the race to secure his signature.
According to Relo, conversations have already taken place between the representatives of Atleti and Romero. Although the World Cup winner would be planning to be enthusiastic about moving to the Metropolitano, Spurs are expected to repel the efforts to remove their player. Club-to-club negotiations are still to happen, but if they do, it will not be easy for Los Colchoneros.
Romero is a player who would be ideal for Simeone, who loves aggressive, passionate players – especially for defense. He would also significantly improve the central defensive options that Athleti has, but for now it is just a dream for the club, because it is expected that traces make it very difficult to let him go.
It is still to be seen how this situation develops in the summer transfer window. Atletico Madrid will certainly make an attempt, but Spurs will not make it easy.
