As reported by TEAMTalk, Real Madrid are considering a move for Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero in the summer. The La Liga club want to strengthen their defensive unit with the addition of the World Cup Champion.
Cristian Romero is a proven name
Cristian Romero joined Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2021 and has been a great servant since then. Though he struggles with injuries regularly, he puts on impressive performances whenever he takes onto the field.
Romero has been unfortunate with injuries this season as he has got to feature only for 17 games and has a goal under his hat. He is averaging 1.2 tackles, 0.7 interceptions, and 3 clearances per game (stats via whoscored).
The Argentine defender is known for his aggressive and risk-taking style of play. He anticipates the threats well and takes proactive actions. He is very strong on aerial duels and is comfortable on the ball, making him an ideal defender.
Cristian Romero has fitness issues
Interest in Cristian Romero from Real Madrid is quite surprising but not shocking. The Spanish outfit has struggled badly with injuries in the defensive unit and they need better back-ups for sure.
Romero is an experienced campaigner with a proven record. He has all the traits to mark an era at a top-tier club like Madrid. He can bring positive energy and solidity to the Whites’ backline and help them win more titles.
However, as the player’s current contract runs until 2027, he won’t come in cheap. Tottenham Hotspur value the 26-year-old around €65 million, which seems a bit overpriced considering his recurring fitness issues. Moreover, the sensational rise of Raul Asencio will tempt Real Madrid to evaluate their options and spend wisely in the summer.
