Romero Push: Atletico Eyes Spurs Star Amidst Ruggeri Sale
12 Aug
Summary
- Atletico Madrid plans new bid for Cristian Romero after Ruggeri sale.
- Ruggeri's transfer to Aston Villa is valued at £21.4 million.
- Romero favors a move to Spain over Italy, with Inter Milan monitoring.
Atletico Madrid is reportedly poised to make an improved offer for Tottenham Hotspur's Cristian Romero. This potential transfer is directly linked to the imminent sale of Matteo Ruggeri, whose move to Aston Villa is nearing completion and is expected to fetch £21.4 million.
The departure of Ruggeri, coupled with Nahuel Molina's likely transfer to AS Roma, is anticipated to generate the necessary funds for Atletico to pursue the acquisition of Romero. The Tottenham captain himself is keen to depart the London club and is reportedly favoring a move to Spain over Italy.
Inter Milan is also keeping a close watch on Romero's situation, while Arsenal has been rumored to be interested. However, Tottenham is expected to resist any approaches from Premier League rivals. Atletico is prepared to offer up to £38.5 million for the Argentine international, though Tottenham's willingness to accept this figure remains uncertain.
