Atlético Madrid is decisively maneuvering in the market and is already planning an offer close to 50 million euros to acquire Cristian 'Cuti' Romero, the Argentine center-back who plays for Tottenham. With the aim of strengthening their defense for the upcoming season, the red and white club has placed the World Cup champion as their top priority, aware that the competition will be tough and that the player himself would be very open to a move to LaLiga.

Tottenham Asks for More Money

Diego Simeone's team needs to restructure its defense due to the imminent departures of Axel Witsel and César Azpilicueta, and the likely exit of Clément Lenglet, who will have to return to Barcelona at the end of his loan spell. At the moment, Atleti would only have José María Giménez and Robin Le Normand, making it urgent to incorporate a top-tier center-back.

Romero, a key player for the Spurs, has a valid contract, but his wish to try his luck in the Spanish league could facilitate negotiations. Although Tottenham demands around 70 million euros to let him go, the Metropolitano club is confident that the player's willingness could be key to reducing the English club's financial demands.

Atlético also aims to accelerate negotiations to have the Argentine defender ready for the Club World Cup, which will take place this summer. The Madrid club hopes to close the signing in the early days of the market, aware that they will have to act swiftly to prevent other European clubs from joining the bidding war.

Romero would be a top-level addition for Atlético, which needs to reinforce its backbone and continue to be competitive both in Spain and in Europe.
