Atletico de Madrid continues to work silently but firmly to achieve one of the most ambitious signings in recent times: Cristian 'Cuti' Romero. The Argentine defender from Tottenham is a direct request from Diego Simeone, who sees in him the ideal piece to strengthen his defense for the upcoming season and the demanding Club World Cup to be held in the United States.

The red and white team is aware of the complexity of the operation. Romero is under contract with Spurs until 2027, and the English club will not make it easy. According to reports on 'SkySports', negotiations could start with a demand close to 80 million euros, a figure that Atletico considers unaffordable. The intention of the Spanish club is to reduce that price to between 40 and 50 million, taking advantage of the player's desire to wear the colchonero shirt.

Simeone works on his signing in first person

The international center-back has already spoken with Simeone, making it clear that he is excited about the possibility of joining the project of the Argentine coach, whom he admires deeply. The presence of compatriots like De Paul, Molina, or Correa in the squad is also a factor playing in favor.

The 'Cuti', a key player in Scaloni's national team, would arrive to form a trio of high-level center-backs alongside Giménez and Le Normand. His aggressiveness, aerial game, and leadership are qualities that Simeone values ​​greatly. Atletico is certain: Romero is the chosen one, and they will do everything possible to bring him in.
