Ass: Tottenham price Romero 70 million euros, Atletico Madrid s pursuit is slow

May 30th According to the Ascension, Atletico Madrid's pursuit of Romero is progressing slowly.

In the past week, Atletico Madrid and Tottenham have tested each other, and the bed sheets team realized that Tottenham would not let the Argentine central defender go easily. It is reported that Tottenham's initial price is 70 million euros.

Although Romero is open to joining Atletico Madrid and publicly expresses his desire to participate in La Liga, Tottenham's attitude is completely different. North London clubs are not in a hurry to sell players, and even coach Postkoglu stressed the importance of retaining Romero. Therefore, Atletico Madrid understands that to sign the World Cup champion, they need to negotiate patiently and be prepared to pay a high price.

Tottenham introduced Romero from Atlanta for 52 million euros in 2022. According to British media reports, Tottenham's initial price is 70 million euros. However, Atletico Madrid does not intend to bid 70 million euros. Given the huge gap in positions between the two sides, tentative contacts will be mainly conducted this week.

Atletico Madrid hopes to know directly how willing Tottenham is to sell Romero, and take this opportunity to express the player's desire to wear the red and white jerseys. It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time that the two clubs have negotiated: Trippier, Reguilon and other players have previously transferred from Tottenham to Atletico Madrid.

Tottenham chairman Levi also has reason to retain Romero, and qualifying for the Champions League through the UEFA Cup has enhanced Levi's determination not to weaken the team's lineup. In fact, after being named MVP in the Europa League final, Romero made some farewell words:

"I gave everything to this jersey. I came with a historical mindset, and I did it."

A few days later, Postkoglu called for a contract renewal with Romero, but the future of the coach remains undecided due to his 17th place in the Premier League. On Monday, Romero's tone seemed a bit mysterious when talking about the team's season performance on social media: "Unity has made us successful. We must continue to move forward, and that's our path."

Based on the above factors, Romero's transfer seems destined to be a tug-of-war. Levi is a tough negotiator and Atletico Madrid must go all out in every step of the negotiation to avoid having to eventually pay a transfer fee of up to €70 million.

At the same time, Romero will participate in the Argentina national team training with his teammates next week, and this topic will definitely be discussed at that time.
