Real Madrid has set its sights on Cristian "Cuti" Romero as one of the options to reinforce its defense for the upcoming season. The white club is looking for a new center back following the injuries of David Alaba and Eder Militao, which have exposed the lack of alternatives in that position. The sports management has compiled a list of three candidates, and the Argentine from Tottenham is emerging as a real possibility.

Romero, 25, is a key piece in Ange Postecoglou's scheme, although his performance has shown fluctuations this season. Nevertheless, his defensive solidity and ability to prevail in physical duels make him an attractive profile for the Merengue side. However, his arrival won't be easy, as Tottenham has no intention of easily parting ways with the defender, whose contract extends until 2027.

Cuti Romero, on Real Madrid's radar

In addition to the Argentine, Real Madrid has also turned its attention to Jarrad Branthwaite from Everton, whose price could exceed 70 million pounds, and Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen, who could arrive as a free agent. Although Tottenham is not in a financial position that obliges them to sell, the lack of European competition next season could play in favor of the Spanish team in a possible negotiation.

On the other hand, Madrid also aims to strengthen the right-back position, with Trent Alexander-Arnold as their main target. If they fail to secure his signing, Pedro Porro is another option on the table. The Merengue sports management has a busy summer ahead, with defense being one of their top priorities.
