Tottenham ready to reopen contract talks with player just called 'the best in the world'
Daniel Levy is prepared to hand a key Tottenham player a major new deal in a bid to keep him at the club – but with interest from Spain, he may already have one foot out the door.
With the transfer window set to reopen once more on 16 June, Tottenham Hotspur would be eager to make new signings and also keep their best players.
Cristian Romero fits the bill of a top player that Spurs would want to keep at Hotspur Way, as even Liverpool star Alexis Mac Allister was quick to state that Romero has been the best centre-back in the world for years.
However, given his quality, and with just two years left on his current deal, Tottenham find themselves in a dilemma as Romero is open to leaving Spurs, with Atletico Madrid showing keen interest.
Tottenham pushing new Cristian Romero contract despite Atletico Madrid interest
TBR Football are now reporting that Tottenham are looking to reopen contract talks with the Argentine centre-back this summer.
It is claimed that Cristian Romero will listen to Tottenham Hotspur’s contract offer, but it remains to be seen if he will be convinced, as he has his heart set on a move to Atletico Madrid.
Indeed, this is not the first time that Tottenham has gone into contract negotiations with Romero. Earlier this year, it was reported that Spurs offered Romero a contract that was expected to make him the highest-paid Tottenham player, but the defender was hesitant to sign a new deal.
Tottenham are now hoping their lure of Champions League football would be able to persuade the centre-back to stay, but only time would tell.
Daniel Levy wants to keep Cristian Romero at Spurs despite Diego Simeone talks
Of course, with the Argentine failing to put pen to paper, talks have since stalled due to Tottenham’s focus on the Europa League last season.
It has now been stated that Daniel Levy is looking to be ambitious this window, and one way Spurs are looking to show ambition is by keeping Romero at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
However, it would be far from straightforward with Atletico Madrid sniffing around, and with Romero already said to have had talks with Diego Simeone.
It sure is one to keep an eye on, and with Thomas Frank expected to come through the door, the Danish manager would have to help convince the 27-year-old centre-back to stay.
