Cuti Romero, 28-year-old Argentine center-back, once again emerges as the top priority for Atlético de Madrid in this summer transfer window to reinforce their defense. The Madrid club is preparing an initial offer close to 30 million euros for the Tottenham player, while Inter is also competing for his signing with a more lucrative proposal.

However, the operation largely depends on the Atlético finalizing sales in the coming days. The transfers of Matteo Ruggeri and Nahuel Molina are seen as key moves to generate income and reduce the wage bill before pursuing such a significant incorporation. 

Cuti Romero, Atlético de Madrid's top priority

Atlético de Madrid's interest in Cuti Romero is not new. Diego Simeone already requested his signing last summer, but back then, Tottenham stood firm with a valuation around 55-60 million euros, a figure that halted any agreement.

The scenario has changed this transfer window. The Madrid club believes they can reopen negotiations with an initial offer of around 30 million, aware that it will be a starting point and not necessarily the final transfer fee. Additionally, the player maintains his desire to play in LaLiga, a factor that Atlético hopes to leverage during the discussions. 

Romero is under contract with Tottenham until 2029 after renewing last season. According to various reports, the agreement included conditions that would facilitate exploring an exit if an offer came from one of the major Spanish clubs. 

Inter pushes as Nahuel Molina moves closer to the deal

The main competitor of Atlético de Madrid is Inter, which has reportedly submitted a proposal to Tottenham of 35 million euros fixed plus 5 million in variables. Despite this offer, the Argentine international's priority would still be to move to the Metropolitano. 

The Atlético sporting direction needs to complete several sales beforehand. The potential departure of Nahuel Molina, currently negotiating his exit with Roma, could bring in a significant amount and reduce the squad's wage bill. The Argentine full-back remains one of the most advanced operations of the summer for the Madrid club. 

To this departure could be added Ruggeri's move, as he is sought after by Aston Villa, an operation that would also help finance the arrival of the Tottenham defender.

The next hours will determine Cuti Romero's future

Atlético de Madrid's strategy involves first concluding the planned sales and then presenting their formal proposal to Tottenham. The English club is already aware of the interest from Atlético, while Inter is still waiting to finalize the deal before a competitor with greater capability to cover the player's wages emerges. 

If the exits of Nahuel Molina and Ruggeri materialize in the coming days, Atlético's next move will be to accelerate definitively for Cuti Romero, an objective that Simeone has prioritized for over a year and that could finally become the standout defensive signing of the summer.
