La Liga
Atlético de Madrid is determined to strengthen its defense with a high-impact signing, and Diego Pablo Simeone has set his sights on a fellow countryman who has fascinated him for some time. According to sources close to the rojiblanco environment, the Colchonero coach maintains direct and constant communication with Cristian “Cuti” Romero, whom he considers the key piece to rebuild the defensive line for the upcoming season.
The operation has not yet been formalized, but it is expected that the Madrid club will make a strong offer in the coming weeks. The Argentine center-back, currently with Tottenham, emerges as the top target to take on the leadership role in the team's rearguard, a position left vacant following Lenglet's departure and the need to increase competitiveness for the major challenges of the season: to contend for the league title again and make strong progress in Europe.
Simeone wants to sign Cuti Romero
Cuti's future could hinge on Spurs' European qualification. If the Londoners fail to secure their place in the next Champions League, the scenario for a potential departure would significantly ease.
With a contract until 2027 and a key role in Tottenham's defense, Romero has played 25 games this year and is set to start in the Europa League final. Nonetheless, Simeone's persistence and the appeal of the Colchonero project could influence his final decision.
At the Wanda Metropolitano, they want him alongside Le Normand and Giménez to form a formidable defense. The plan is underway, and apparently, Cuti's phone keeps ringing.
