Atletico Madrid has already completed two summers, but there are plans for more players to become a member of Diego Simeone's team for the 2025-26 season. Alex Baena and Matteo Ruggeri have arrived for a combined price of € 75 million, and there is a wish that Cristian Romero is being brought in, but he would cost in the region of this figure.
Romero is the leading target of Atleti for the Center-Back position, and he has been a few weeks. Conversations are planned with Tottenham Hotspur, but the Premier League is very not willing to sell their star defender – and after they have won the Europa League of last season, they are not under immediate pressure to punish a sale.
And that is reflected in their attitude, with caughtside reporting that Spurs would only sell Romero if they received an offer in the region of € 70 million, which is a appreciation that Athleti regards as excessive.
Romero has previously unveiled his desire to play in La Liga, and this is an advantage that Athleti has in their pursuit. And another could be his contract situation, with reports from Argentina-as covered under Diario, detracted that the 27-year-old has rejected the offer of a new deal from Spurs.
If he had signed, Romero would have been the best -paid player of Spurs, but according to the report he rejected it because he wants to leave to start a new chapter in his career.
Deals for Baena, Ruggeri and the upcoming for Johnny Cardoso are all excellent things that Athleti did, but the possible arrival of Romero would undoubtedly elevate Los Colchoneros to serious La Liga title days next to Barcelona and Real Madrid. It is no surprise that they pursue his signature, but for now it is still to see whether they are successful.
