Christian Romero has become a pivotal figure at Tottenham Hotspur over the last few months. Now the chances of him leaving the club in the summer are increasing.
The Argentine has also contributed negatively for Spurs in recent months. Against Nottingham Forest, he was criticized for a costly error which cost the opposition a second goal. This happened during and at a crucial point in an important match.
This has become a pattern of the season for the defender and his teammates. Romero is one of those who have served various suspensions throughout the campaign.
His boisterousness has also come under the microscope, even though his ability has never really been in question.
sports witness has covered discussions of a possible transfer to Atletico Madrid, a claim that has been made for over a year. Now, the idea of a return to Serie A is also gaining momentum.
Roma, Napoli and Inter are interested
Journalist Armando Areniello has now reported on Cristian Romero's future at Tottenham. He clarified that Inter Milan, AS Roma and Napoli are all interested in the Argentina international.
Areniello believes- in the worst case scenario arianapoli - That 'Tottenham value him at €50-60m', especially given that his contract expires in 2029.
The deal is likely to be complex for Italian sides, who do not always have the financial resources. Romero has played at Genoa and Atalanta (on loan from Juventus) but his value could be much higher than the Serie A clubs right now.
Spain appears to be the more likely destination
Furthermore, it appears that the journalist is underestimating Tottenham's value. Since Romero has a long-term contract and is the club captain, it is unlikely that they will let him leave cheaply.
Even if they are demoted, they will still be able to command higher fees. There will be pressure, especially players having to take pay cuts, but Spurs will apply more pressure.
That's why Italian sides must be on the periphery for his signature. The player has already impressed in Serie A, having also impressed in the Champions League at Atalanta.
Atletico Madrid are used to spending big money on players, with the defender also expressing a desire to move to Spain. All this should make Los Rojiblancos the favorites to sign the 27-year-old.
The club has a good record of signing Argentinian international players. Diego Simeone is also in attendance. Therefore, should Cristian Romero leave Tottenham in the summer it is difficult to see Serie A as a possible destination.
