Real Madrid intends to further strengthen their defense after recent setbacks. To this end, Los Blancos are showing serious interest in a defender who has been proving quite stable in the English Premier League.
According to Fichajes, the "royal club" is considering signing Tottenham Hotspur's Christian Romero. The source notes that head coach Alvaro Arbelo himself was particularly interested in the transfer idea and is in favor of bringing Romero to Madrid.
The report states that Real Madrid is prepared to pay the London club €100 million for the 27-year-old defender. This figure quickly became a topic of discussion among fans, as Transfermarkt currently values Romero at €60 million.
Furthermore, the player's current contract with Tottenham extends until the summer of 2029 will not facilitate the deal. That is, it's difficult for Spurs to let him go cheaply - considering his role at the club, the negotiations are bound to be tough.
This season, Romero has made 26 appearances for Tottenham Hotspur, scoring 6 goals and providing 4 assists despite being a defender. Such statistics appear very attractive for teams that need a player who can be not only a blocker in the center of defense but also a dangerous "weapon" in standard situations.
In short, if this transfer truly becomes a real plan, it's not hard to understand that Real Madrid is trying to increase "character" and toughness in defense. Now the main question is one: will Tottenham say "yes" to 100 million or will negotiations become even more heated?
