Cristian Romero, a 28-year-old Argentine center-back, is once again a top priority target for Atlético Madrid's transfer market, which has already started moves to sign him this summer. Tottenham has rejected an initial offer from Atlético Madrid close to €30 million and demands around €40 million to let their captain go.

Negotiations are ongoing, forcing Atlético to improve their conditions if they want to get closer to the price set by the English club. Additionally, Inter Milan remains in the race and is considering a proposal around €35 million, increasing pressure on Atlético Madrid.

Tottenham demands €40 million for Cristian Romero

Atlético Madrid had initially offered around €30 million after making progress in selling some of their players. Mateu Alemany plans to use part of the income expected from Matteo Ruggeri and Nahuel Molina to finance the center-back's arrival.

Tottenham considers that amount insufficient. Romero renewed his contract in August 2025 and is tied until June 2029, a contractual situation allowing the London club to maintain a firm position in the negotiations.

The Spurs have set their valuation around €40 million. The difference from Atlético's initial offer is therefore about €10 million, although talks are still in the early stages.

Salaries also play a part in the equation. The center-back's wage increased after his last renewal, with estimates indicating earnings exceeding €10 million gross annually, a figure Atlético will have to fit within its wage structure.

Inter competes with Atlético Madrid for Cristian Romero

The second obstacle for the red and white team is Inter Milan. The Italian club has been working on signing Cristian Romero for days, engaging in talks with both Tottenham and the player's representatives.

Inter's offer is around €35 million, according to the latest information. This amount could be a possible middle ground between the €30 million initially prepared by Atlético and the €40 million demanded by London.

Atlético's advantage lies in the player's own willingness. Romero has been positively disposed toward the chance to work with Diego Simeone for some time, after his name was already on the table during the 2025 transfer window.

Atlético must raise their initial offer

The Madrid club now needs to decide how far they are willing to go. The expected sales of Ruggeri for about €18 million and Molina for around €13 million would provide over €30 million for new moves, while other operations would help to release salary funds.

The signing of a center-back remains one of Simeone's priorities for the upcoming LaLiga season, with Romero once again holding a prominent position in that plan.

The next step involves a second proposal from Atlético Madrid. If the offer approaches €35-40 million, Tottenham will have to decide whether to definitively open the door to Cristian Romero, while Inter will try to prevent the Argentine's willingness from tipping the operation towards Madrid.
