LIVE – Romero close to joining Atletico Madrid: Tottenham are asking around €40 million.

Cristian Romero is at the center of a heated negotiation: after months of interest from Inter, Barcelona, ​​and Arsenal, Simeone's Atlético Madrid appear to be ahead of the game for the Tottenham defender. Reports in recent weeks (July–August 2026) suggest concrete contacts between the clubs and a valuation ranging between €40 million and higher figures reported in some reports.

There's no official announcement from Tottenham or Atlético yet: at the moment, these are just reports and ongoing discussions. If the deal were to close, it would be a significant reinforcement for the Colchonera defense, but it needs to be confirmed by the clubs involved as soon as possible.
