Atlético de Madrid is determined to fulfill one of Diego Pablo Simeone's great desires to strengthen the defense: Cristian “Cuti” Romero. The Argentine center-back, currently at Tottenham, has become the main target for the red and white club to bolster their defense, and the Metropolitano offices are willing to make a very significant financial effort to close his signing.

According to reports from the newspaper AS, the mattress entity has considerably raised its initial offer and is now considering reaching a figure close to 70 million euros between the fixed payment (around 55 million) and a series of variables that would complete the amount demanded by Spurs. The English club, firm in its demands, does not want to let the defender go for less than that amount, although the fact that the player is under contract until 2027 adds complexity to the operation.

Very Close to Meeting All of Tottenham's Demands

However, both Enrique Cerezo and Miguel Ángel Gil Marín are fully committed to satisfying their coach's wishes. Simeone himself has been in contact with the player for months, and Romero's entourage views his possible move to the Metropolitano with approval.

Cuti Romero would not be just another reinforcement, but the cornerstone on which Simeone wants to build the new project. Negotiations with Tottenham are progressing, and this week could be crucial in defining the defender's future. Atlético is convinced: they want the leader of the defense and are willing to pay for it.
