Spurs refuse to open talks with Real Madrid over key player sale – Journalist

Argentine journalist Gaston Edul has revealed that Real Madrid’s attempts to land Cristian Romero this summer were rejected out of hand by Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham do not want to sell Cristian Romero

Romero has become an indispensable part of the Tottenham team, emerging as the leader of the club’s backline.

Ange Postecoglou’s decision to hand the Argentine the vice-captaincy was a clear signal of his importance to the current project underway at Hotspur Way.

It turns out that Spurs have foiled attempts from Real Madrid to poach the centre-back this summer.

Real Madrid want to sign Cristian Romero

Tottenham insider Paul O’Keefe revealed on the Last Word on Spurs podcast on Monday that Madrid enquired about Romero’s availability earlier this year.

However, he explained that Daniel Levy quoted them a price of £150m, which scared off Los Blancos.

Ezul has now also taken to social media to confirm that Carlo Ancelotti’s men contacted Spurs about Romero.

The journalist asserts that the Premier League side made it clear to the Spanish giants that they would not entertain any offers for the defender, even refusing to come to the negotiating table.

Spurs Web Opinion

Tottenham need to fight for major honours this season and convince Romeor that he can fulfil his ambitions at the club. Otherwise, I fear that we might be in very real danger of losing the Argentine next summer.
