Atletico Madrid has the opportunity to strengthen their defense with one of the best center-backs on the international scene: Cristian 'Cuti' Romero. The Argentine defender, World Cup champion in 2022, has made it clear his intention to wear the red and white shirt starting from the next season and has been pressuring Tottenham for weeks to facilitate his departure once the English team's participation in the Europa League is over.

However, the operation will not be easy. Daniel Levy, president of the London club, has valued the player at around 70 million euros and refuses to start negotiations before the end of the European season. Nonetheless, at the Metropolitano, they are aware that the player's desire could be crucial to unlocking the signing.

Sacrifices will have to be made to sign 'Cuti'

But as reported by Marca, Romero's arrival also forces Atletico to solve a puzzle: his status as a non-EU player. Currently, the three spots are filled by Lino, Molina, and Gallagher. The Brazilian seems the most likely to leave as his potential and age suggest there will be suitors willing to pay a significant sum. If a satisfactory sale is not achieved, the club could consider an offer for Nahuel Molina, as long as it approaches 30 million.

In any case, Atletico has already taken significant steps forward. The player's interest and pressure on Tottenham could be decisive in finalizing one of the summer's star signings.
