Cristian Romero (Tottenham Hotspur), Álex Baena (Villarreal)
Summer 2025
Atlético Madrid have made Tottenham’s Cristian Romero and Villarreal’s Álex Baena their top transfer targets, but may struggle to afford both.
Atlético also want a defensive midfielder, backup goalkeeper, forward, and left-back, while Jhon Lucumí is considered a cheaper defensive option if Romero proves unattainable.
