Atlético de Madrid has begun to seriously consider the addition of Santiago Mouriño as an alternative to Cristian Romero, whose signing seems increasingly unlikely. Negotiations with Tottenham for the Argentine defender have cooled off as the London club is not willing to part ways with one of its key players, unless an offer beyond the financial reach of the Rojiblancos arrives. Faced with this scenario, the Metropolitano club has activated other options with Mouriño emerging as one of the most viable choices.

The 23-year-old Uruguayan center-back recently parted ways with Atlético just over a year ago to join Deportivo Alavés, where he had a solid season featuring in 27 matches. His time at the Basque club left positive impressions, confirming the potential that was already evident in his early steps in European football. Diego Simeone values his physicality, intensity, and ability to adapt to the team's defensive style.

Atlético de Madrid Eyes Santiago Mouriño Amid Tough Cuti Romero Transfer

In addition to his footballing abilities, the economic aspect favors Atlético. The Madrid club retained a buyback option for Mouriño for just 4 million euros, making it a very affordable opportunity in today's market. The sporting direction sees this operation as a low-risk investment with room for growth.

While signing Cuti Romero would have represented an immediate quality boost, Mouriño aligns more coherently with the club's policy and the coaching staff's preferences. In the upcoming weeks, it will be decided whether Atlético will activate that clause to bring back the Uruguayan defender and strengthen the defense seeking greater depth to compete on all fronts.
