Atlético's plan B if they fail to sign Cuti Romero

Atlético de Madrid has turned on the radar and has Facundo Medina as a solid option if they ultimately fail to secure the arrival of Cristian Romero. The rojiblanco board is working cautiously in planning for the upcoming season and is looking to reinforce a defense that needs alternatives. Although the main objective continues to be the Tottenham defender, the complexity of that operation has forced the club to activate a plan B that also speaks Argentine.

Romero's possible departure largely depends on the outcome of the English team's European performance. If Tottenham fails to qualify for continental competitions, his stay could be complicated, but the high cost of the operation has raised doubts among the colchonero environment. Romero, a key player both at his club and in the Argentine national team, still has two years left on his contract, and his price has skyrocketed.

Facundo Medina, on Atlético's radar

Therefore, Medina gains ground on Atlético's agenda. With a competitive profile, experience in Europe, and an attractive room for improvement for Diego Simeone's project, the Lens center-back offers a more affordable and viable alternative. His connection with the French club extends until 2028, but his transfer cost would be significantly lower than that of his compatriot.

Having played 30 matches this season with a level of consistency that has kept him as an undisputed starter, Medina emerges as a solid option if the Madrid club fails to progress with Romero. The summer market has not officially started yet, but plans are already being made behind the scenes at the Metropolitano to strengthen the defensive axis effectively.
