Atletico Madrid and Arsenal compete for Cristian Romero

Atletico Madrid, Arsenal, and Inter Milan are actively pursuing the transfer of 28-year-old Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero. As the Premier League season approaches, reports indicate that the Argentine center-back is expected to depart from his current club, with Atletico Madrid reportedly holding direct talks with both Tottenham and the player himself.

While Inter Milan has already reached an agreement with Tottenham, their ability to finalize the deal remains contingent upon successful player sales to clear necessary funds. Similarly, Atletico Madrid needs to generate revenue through squad departures to accommodate the transfer. Despite interest from these clubs, sources highlight that Romero’s personal preference is to experience a new challenge in the Spanish La Liga.

Romero previously played in Italy for Atalanta and Juventus before joining the London-based club. The current situation remains fluid as all interested parties await further financial developments, with the player's potential exit from Tottenham appearing increasingly likely before the start of the competitive season.
