Aston Villa has set its sights on Cristian 'Cuti' Romero as a reinforcement for the upcoming season and joins the battle for his signing, where Atletico de Madrid and Real Madrid are already competing. The English club considers the Argentine defender a key piece to strengthen its defense and is willing to make an offer during the summer transfer market to convince Tottenham to part ways with their star center-back.

Since his arrival at the London-based team from Atalanta, Romero has proven to be a stronghold in defense. Initially signed on loan in 2021, Tottenham eventually secured his permanent transfer a year later. During this period, the Argentine international has played in over a hundred matches, contributing with goals and assists, establishing himself as an undisputed starter.

Three-way battle for the signing of Cuti Romero

However, his time at the English club has not brought him any titles, unlike his successful career with the Argentine national team, where he played a crucial role in winning the 2022 World Cup and two continental titles. This lack of club success could influence his decision to seek a new destination in the upcoming transfer window.

Tottenham is not keen on letting him go easily and has valued his transfer at around 55 million pounds. Nevertheless, Aston Villa seems willing to cover the operation costs but will have to face competition from other European giants like Napoli, Bayern Munich, and the two Madrid clubs, all of which have also shown interest in the defender. The battle for Romero is shaping up to be one of the major moves in the summer market.
