The Argentine player transferred to Tottenham from Atalanta in August 2021 for around £42 million ($53.8m). Since then, he’s emerged as one of the top centre-backs in the Premier League. Yet, Tottenham might struggle to keep hold of the 26-year-old, as Real Madrid is closely monitoring his progress, as per ESPN reports.
Although Tottenham conceded 61 goals last season in the Premier League, it’s plausible to say that without Romero in their defense, they could have conceded even more. Losing someone of his caliber would be a significant setback for Ange Postecoglou’s team. However, the appeal of Madrid might present an offer too tempting to reject if it materializes.
Since his debut for Tottenham in August 2021, Romero has played in 98 games across all competitions, scoring six goals and providing one assist. He has started in 96 of those matches, underscoring his significance to the team.As fans from both Tottenham and Real Madrid eagerly await the developments of this transfer rumor, Romero might participate in Argentina’s last warm-up match against Guatemala on Friday evening before the Copa America kicks off next week.
