According to the Ass, Tottenham Hotspur asked Romero for 70 million euros, exceeding Atletico's defender signing budget.

Atletico Madrid needs to introduce a new defender this summer, and coach Simeone is very optimistic about Tottenham's Argentine defender Romero. Previously, Simeone publicly stated: "Do I want Romero? Of course! He is a strong player." But As pointed out that Tottenham does not want to let go easily, and Romero's contract has two years left to expire, and Tottenham is not in a hurry to sell players this summer.

Tottenham chairman Levi asked Romero for 70 million euros, while Atletico Madrid's transfer budget does not exceed 60 million euros, so he believes that the asking price is too high. However, considering that coach Simeone strongly demanded signing Romero, Atletico Madrid will negotiate with Tottenham Hotspur next and hope to convince Tottenham to lower the asking price.

Tottenham Hotspur believes that Romero can become the pillar player of new coach Frank's future program. Tottenham also told Romero that he would try to keep him if possible and try to renew his contract. But the relationship between Tottenham and Romero is not good at the moment. Tottenham fired coach Postkoglu, who won the UEFA Cup last season, which made Romero very angry. In addition, Romero has also been dissatisfied with Tottenham chairman Levi and Tottenham team doctors.

It is worth mentioning that Romero himself has expressed his willingness to join Atletico Madrid. It is not even ruled out that Romero will apply for a transfer next time to clarify his idea of ​​leaving the team and put pressure on Tottenham. If that happens, it will be more beneficial to Atletico Madrid's negotiations. Romero did not participate in the shooting in the new season jersey advertisement released by Tottenham. Tottenham will start training in mid-July to prepare for the next season, and Romero's stay and leave have attracted much attention.

"As" also pointed out that if the acquisition of Romero this summer fails, then Atletico Madrid's defender's alternative is Incapier. The Ecuador international can play as a centre-back and full-back, and he plans to leave Leverkusen this summer, and Atletico has been following him for some time. With Kapier's contract termination fee of 60 million euros, Atletico Madrid can try to sign him at a lower price.
