Cristian Romero may have played his last game for Tottenham as speculation surrounding his future at the club takes centre stage. As per Caught Offside, Spurs could demand at least €60-65 million to part ways with their captain and key man, amid interest from Manchester United and Real Madrid.
Cristian Romero could have played his last game for Tottenham, which came against Sunderland a week ago. The Spurs skipper suffered a knee injury in that game that has since ruled him out for the season, and now, in the background, transfer speculation takes centre-stage.
Romero is already contemplating a departure from Tottenham in the summer, especially with the prospect of relegation looming large over the north London giants. Spurs are seemingly considering their options, and while keeping their skipper would be a priority in some sense, they could consider a sale, too.
The report states Spurs are set to demand at least €60-65 million for their star defender, which might be something worth considering for a host of his suitors. Manchester United and Real Madrid are interested, while Atletico Madrid are also mentioned as a significant suitor in various reports about the Argentine defender.
Manchester United are looking into the market for a senior defender, and the progressive style of Romero might end up suiting their game. While they could offer Champions League football, as well as a shot at the title, Spain appears to be the destination that appeals to the Argentine star.
Atletico Madrid have been making checks in the background about a possible move, but Real Madrid could step up their interest in the defender soon. Florentino Perez is contemplating additions to the backline as the futures of David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger remain under considerable doubt.
The €60-65 million price point might be something worth negotiating as far as Real Madrid are concerned, as Tottenham’s precarious position could be something the Spanish giants look to take advantage of. For now, all fingers point towards the exit door for Romero, unless there is a late twist in the background.
