Tottenham have a firm position on Cristian Romero amid Atletico Madrid interest
Tottenham Hotspur’s stance on Cristian Romero’s future has now emerged following interest from Atletico Madrid.
Cristian Romero often comes across as a frustrated figure at Tottenham Hotspur, with the Spurs captain not shy about voicing his discontent.
Romero recently labelled the lack of fit Spurs players in the game against Manchester City as disgraceful, just after the January transfer window slammed shut.
Since his last comments, reports have emerged suggesting Romero wants out of Tottenham in the summer, and he has not been short of suitors.
Tottenham stance on Cristian Romero transfer interest revealed
According to Football Insider, Atletico Madrid have once again shown interest in Romero after their attempts to sign the Tottenham man failed last summer.
Romero instead put pen to paper on a new contract rather than heading out the door in north London following Tottenham’s Europa League success.
However, despite Atletico Madrid showing interest in the Argentine, it is understood Spurs still have no interest in losing their captain, regardless of his volatile nature.
But the Lilywhites may not have it all their own way, as the report warns that player power could come into play as the 27-year-old seeks Champions League football.
Romero ambition poses Spurs dilemma
Romero is certainly a player with ambition, and it is clear to see that Tottenham are not matching his desires at the moment.
However, recent reports have claimed that the Spurs’ higher-ups have reassured their captain that there are plans for a ‘significant rebuild’ of the squad in the summer, amid rumours that he wants out of Tottenham.
Spurs finished 17th last term and are on course for yet another bottom-half finish as they sit 16th in the Premier League, with five points separating them from the relegation places.
That means, unless they win the Champions League, Tottenham will not feature in Europe next term, making it even harder to keep a player like Romero, who is looking to play in Europe’s premier competition.
