Tottenham's "key defender" Christian Romero (27) predicted a "Tottenham escape."
Spain's "Mundo Deportivo" unveiled an interview conducted by Gaston Edul of Argentina's TyC Sports before the UEFA Europa League (UEL) final in the 2024-2025 season on the 29th (Korea time).
When asked where he wanted to play, Romero said, "I want to play in La Liga in Spain. I haven't played in La Liga yet."
Regarding what he wants to achieve at the moment, he said, "I want to win the Champions League. It's the best goal for me."
At the same time, Romero made significant remarks that seemed to imply his transfer to the next team, drawing keen attention. "I will do my best until the end when I am here (Tottenham). I am happy now, and my teammates make me feel that I am an important player. However, I welcome anything about how the future will unfold," Romero said.
Romero has been a key defender for four seasons since he wore a Tottenham uniform in 2021. He is considered a top center back not only in Tottenham but also in the EPL as a whole. Tottenham beat Manchester United on the 22nd and helped lift the UEL trophy. However, he is sometimes sent off for rough play, and frequent injuries are considered disadvantages.
Romero, who suffered a knee injury in the match against Chelsea in December last year, was sidelined for about three months. After returning to action against Bournemouth on March 10, he continued to play until the end of the season. He scored one goal and one assist in 26 official matches last season.
Recently, Romero has been rumored to be moving to Atletico Madrid. More than anything else, Romero is also said to want to move. "Romero has accepted Atletico," said Matteo Moreto of Spain's Lelevo last month. "Atletico are preparing for next season. According to our information, the player that Atletico want the most is Romero."
Moreto said, "Of course, the deal will not be easy. Tottenham demands a very high transfer fee. However, Romero has already agreed to go to Atletico. It remains to be seen how negotiations between the two clubs will proceed after the end of this season."
Chairman Daniel Levy is said to want 80 million euros for Romero's transfer fee. However, Atlético wants to negotiate at around 50 million euros (78.1 billion won). 카지노
Romero accepted to go to Atletico because of the presence of "master" Diego Simeone. Moreto said, "Romero is very attracted to playing under Simeone." Simeone is said to have already spoken with Romero personally.
