Tottenham fans react as Cristian Romero responds to Atletico Madrid offer
Tottenham fans are already bracing for life without Cristian Romero, after fresh reports suggest the defender has given the green light to join Atletico Madrid – and many think it is the right time to move on.
Tottenham’s Romero has seen his future come under real scrutiny in recent months. The Argentine centre-back has been heavily linked with a move away from north London, with Atletico Madrid named as one of the clubs keen to lure him away.
Reports have even suggested that Atletico Madrid have already made contact with Cristian Romero’s representatives to sound out a potential switch.
Earlier this week, Romero himself dropped a major hint about his next move, suggesting that he would be open to a transfer away from England, with Spain looking like his preferred destination.
Cristian Romero says yes to Atletico Madrid and Tottenham fans react
Now, a new report claims that Cristian Romero has said yes to a move to Atletico Madrid. Tottenham fans, well aware of the latest developments, have wasted no time in sharing their views online.
Many believe that now might be the right moment to cash in on the World Cup winner.
One fan summed the Cristian Romero situation up: “He did his bit, time to say thanks and cash in. He wants a Spanish-speaking country, think he will do well there, will suit him more.”
Another wrote: “Tbf if he helps us win the Europa League he’d be one of the greatest defenders we’ve had in decades.”
One fan pointed to the money Spurs could make: “Hope Spurs get a good price for him. £60m.”
Another made a good point about the next steps: “I think you have to sort a fee with the club first. What has he said yes to? Unless they are going to pay £60-80m, he won’t be going anywhere.”
Another Spurs supporter did not seem too fussed: “Good. He’s never been consistently great for us anyway, and has always had an arrogance about him that says he’s better than us. Would just be nice if we signed a top-tier CB as his replacement.”
And one added: “Until a bid comes in, it’s just speculation.”
Atletico Madrid must still agree fee with Spurs for Romero
Despite the latest reports suggesting that Cristian Romero has said yes to Atletico Madrid, there is still a lot that needs to happen before any deal is completed.
Romero remains under contract at Tottenham and Atletico Madrid would need to agree a transfer fee with Spurs before any move can happen.
Reports have floated figures between £50-60m as Tottenham’s valuation of Romero, and knowing Daniel Levy, if Atletico do not meet that price tag, Romero will not be going anywhere.
