Atletico Madrid, Tottenham and Cristian Romero
Friday
Atletico Madrid have opened talks over a summer move for Tottenham captain Cristian Romero. Spurs expect the Argentina defender to leave, while Atletico manager Diego Simeone is pushing to sign a long-term target whose personal terms are not expected to be difficult.
Tottenham are willing to sell Romero abroad but have ruled out a move to north London rivals Arsenal. Inter Milan also remain interested after previously agreeing a fee with Spurs, leaving Atletico competing for the defender before the window closes.
