Reflecting on Cristian `Cuti` Romero`s impact, coach Ange Postecoglou recently highlighted his significance to Tottenham. He noted that while Romero wasn`t fully fit due to a toe issue in recent weeks, his quality as a world champion and a winner is undeniable. Postecoglou emphasized that Romero`s presence on the pitch instills confidence in his teammates, who hold him in high regard. He stressed the club`s need to retain such crucial players long-term, acknowledging the difficulty in finding adequate replacements.
These remarks from the Tottenham manager, made after the Europa League final, underscore the importance of the Argentinian defender, who is recognized as a key leader for the London club. However, Spurs may face interest from other clubs for the central defender.
According to reports from the newspaper As, Atletico Madrid`s interest in Romero remains robust. Nevertheless, Tottenham has currently set a high asking price, reportedly around 70 million euros. Atletico is evaluating its strategy, potentially hoping to leverage existing good relationships with the English club, as evidenced by past transfers of players like Trippier, Reguilon, and Doherty from Tottenham to Madrid.
