Last Thursday, AS reported Atlético Madrid have identified Tottenham Hotspur’s Cristian Romero as their priority target for the summer window.
On Tuesday, the Argentina international left the door open for the transfer after admitting he would like to play in Spain.
TyC Sports state Atlético have a ‘serious chance’ to take him away from Tottenham.
Spurs are currently 16th in the table and need to win the Europa League to qualify for the Champions League.
The centre-back is unhappy with the north London club’s management and the La Liga side can offer him an escape route. Diego Simeone is serious and has held talks with him.
TyC Sports state Simeone hasn’t yet managed to convince Los Rojiblancos to invest in this operation.
They point out Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy rejected Real Madrid’s formal offer for the World Cup winner last summer. The report adds Romero could push for an exit in the next window if he were to receive an offer.
Spurs are said to value the defender at €75m, but TyC State they could lower the price due to the player’s ‘discontent’.
Journalist Germán García Grova took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to state Romero is the chosen one for Simeone.
The Atlético manager has held talks with the player to find out about his situation. Spurs are known to be tough negotiators, but Germán García Grova adds that in this case, they are awaiting offers.
Both TyC and the journalist make no mention of the fee needed to convince Tottenham to sanction Romero’s sale.
