Wild report claims Real Madrid could bid £87m in late move for Tottenham star, not Van de Ven
Tottenham Hotspur could be at risk of losing one of the most important players before Monday’s deadline, with Real Madrid turning their attention to one of the North London club’s stars.
With just three days left until the transfer window slams shut, we are now at that point where clubs across Europe are scrambling for late deals in an effort to plug holes in their squad.
We often see a couple of major surprises in the lead-up to the transfer deadline, and this time out, it turns out that one case could involve Tottenham.
This is because one of the club’s most highly-rated stars has now emerged as a shock target for the biggest club in the world.
Real Madrid readying a huge offer to sign Cristian Romero from Tottenham
Fichajes have claimed that Madrid are now eyeing a deal for Cristian Romero before the transfer deadline after their latest setbacks.
Their elimination from the Copa del Rey and their failure to finish in the top eight in the Champions League have sent alarm bells ringing in the Spanish capital.
Los Blancos are keen to shore up their backline and are seeking ‘immediate solutions’ to rescue their campaign.
They are now readying a €100m (£87m) offer to poach the Tottenham captain, who has been identified as someone who can inject aggression and character into their team.
Why Madrid are confident about Romero pursuit
It is revealed that the club’s new manager, Alvaro Arbeloa, has given his full approval to push ahead with a move for Romero.
The outlet points out that negotiating with Tottenham will be far from easy, but the La Liga giants are ‘confident’ that the centre-back’s desire to move to the Santiago Bernabeu will facilitate the transfer.
The publication adds that the next few hours will be crucial in determining whether Spurs are willing to sanction the sale of the World Cup winner.
Despite these claims, it seems extremely unlikely that Tottenham would even pick up the phone for such an offer, in our opinion.
