Atlético de Madrid now knows the price of Cuti Romero

As Atlético de Madrid prepares to face the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals against FC Barcelona, the Metropolitano offices are already working on the upcoming transfer market. Diego Pablo Simeone has made it clear that he wants to strengthen the defense with a reliable leader, and his top choice is Cristian ‘Cuti’ Romero. The Argentine coach has reportedly contacted his compatriot to gauge his availability, although Tottenham will not make his departure easy.

The 26-year-old defender, a key player for Spurs and the Argentine national team that won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, has established himself as one of the best center-backs in the Premier League. His contract until 2027 and his high valuation, around 80 million euros, complicate the deal for the mattress makers. However, Romero is reportedly excited about the prospect of playing under Simeone's guidance and leading the red and white defense line.

Atlético goes for the signing of Cuti Romero

Atlético is aware of the challenge posed by the operation but remains hopeful of finding a solution for his transfer. The departure of a player or a possible installment payment might be options on the table. Nevertheless, the Madrid club will have to contend with Tottenham's firm stance as they see the Argentine as a key piece of their project.

With the current season ongoing and the Copa del Rey still at stake, Atlético remains focused on immediate goals, but planning for the next season has already begun with Cuti Romero at the center of attention.
