Atletico Madrid has decided to withdraw from its pursuit of the Argentine defender Cristian Romero, a player for Tottenham Hotspur, despite being one of the clubs interested in acquiring his services in recent times.

According to what was reported by The Athletic FC, Atletico decided to withdraw from the deal after it became clear that Tottenham was unwilling to part with the player during the current summer transfer window.

The report clarified that Tottenham's management is currently planning to renew Romero's contract, aiming to secure him and tie him to the club's long-term project, especially given his importance within the team.

Romero is considered one of the key pillars in Spurs' defense, and he seems set to play a pivotal role in the plans of the new coach Thomas Frank for the upcoming season.
