Atlético de Madrid is finalizing a verbal agreement with Cristian 'Cuti' Romero, a 28-year-old center-back, and is preparing to submit a formal proposal of 40 million euros to Tottenham in this summer transfer market. The Argentine is the main desire of Cholo Simeone.

As confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, the Argentine international has given the final green light to the Rojiblanco board to close his transfer, entering the decisive stage after the approval of the coaching staff led by Diego Simeone.

The economic conditions of the negotiation with Tottenham

The verbal agreement between Atlético de Madrid and the 28-year-old player is closed pending the adjustment of the figure demanded by the London club, set at 40 million euros. Negotiations between both entities experienced a temporary halt due to parallel dealings for Nico González, but have definitively resumed this Monday, August 10, 2026.

Tottenham categorically rejected any negotiation for the Argentine defender with Arsenal, facilitating understanding with the Madrid squad. The Atlético board will send the final documents in the next few hours to finalize the financial details of the transfer.

FC Barcelona's dismissal clears the path to the Metropolitano

FC Barcelona has not made any proposal for the Tottenham defender since the Barcelona sporting direction keeps its financial resources focused on signing Rodri. This lack of competition in LaLiga allows the rojiblanco team to advance alone in the signing of the Argentine international.

For coach Diego Simeone, the addition of the 28-year-old center-back is the absolute priority for the defensive line in this transfer market. The player's arrival will help structure the first-team central defenders alongside Robin Le Normand and Dávid Hancko for the 2026/2027 season.

Atlético de Madrid will send the written offer of 40 million euros to Tottenham during the day this Tuesday, August 11. Once the formal proposal is accepted by the English executives, Cuti Romero will travel to Spain to undergo the necessary medical tests and sign his contract with the Rojiblanco team.
