Tottenham centre-back Cristian Romero considers summer La Liga transfer
Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero is exploring a summer move to La Liga in search of European football.
The Argentine centre-back is evaluating his future after the North London club finished 17th in the Premier League and missed out on continental qualification.
A major squad rebuild is currently underway at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium following a difficult domestic campaign.
Romano confirms Spanish ambition
Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed that a departure is a serious possibility for the defender.
Romano notes that the South American specifically wants to test himself in the Spanish top flight next season.
“Cuti Romero would like to have a new experience in LaLiga if the right opportunity arrives for him and for Tottenham.”
Spurs prepared for defensive reshuffle
Manager Roberto De Zerbi has been backed heavily in the market to overhaul the current playing squad.
Spurs have already secured six new additions to bolster their ranks ahead of the upcoming campaign.
With defensive reinforcements including Marcos Senesi and Jan-Paul van Hecke arriving, the club feels well-covered at the back.
“There could be movement also because Tottenham already signed several centre-backs, and they feel well-covered in that situation, so it’s going to be a situation to watch.”
Barcelona and Atletico Madrid circle
Heavyweights Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have been touted as potential landing spots for the highly-rated stopper.
Despite only signing his most recent contract a year ago, an exit appears increasingly likely if a lucrative bid is tabled.
Cashing in on their star asset could provide Tottenham with crucial funds to continue their aggressive summer spending.
