According to reports, Atletico Madrid want to strengthen their defense and are willing to go to great lengths to sign Romero. They believe a flat fee of €55 million, plus €15 million in add-ons, is a reasonable price.
Tottenham, however, are holding out for a higher price of €70 million. Romero still has two years left on his contract with Tottenham but it seems he is not interested in renewing it after the World Cup.
Interestingly, Romero has expressed his desire to play in La Liga, which might suggest that he is keen on joining Atletico Madrid. The club will now wait to see if their improved offer is enough to persuade Tottenham to sell.
It is worth noting that Romero's future is uncertain, and it remains to be seen whether he will join Atletico Madrid or stay with Tottenham.
Atletico Madrid's efforts to sign Romero will be closely watched, as the player's decision could have a significant impact on the team's performance.
While Romero has not commented on the latest developments, it is clear that Atletico Madrid are serious about signing him and will continue to pursue their interest in the player.
Ultimately, the decision to sell Romero will depend on Tottenham's willingness to accept the improved offer from Atletico Madrid.
