Real Madrid has begun its moves in the summer 2026 transfer market to sign Argentine defender Cristian Romero from Tottenham Hotspur, after the player expressed a clear desire to leave the English club due to disagreements with the management, according to the website "Fichajes."

With the imminent departure of key players like Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba, Real Madrid is looking to strengthen its defense with a player who combines strength, experience, and leadership ability. Romero is considered the ideal choice according to coach Xabi Alonso, who praised his performance in England and confirmed that he fits his tactical plans thanks to his speed, strong interceptions, and precise passes from the back.

The Spanish club plans to make an offer of up to 80 million euros to persuade Tottenham's management to agree to the sale of the 27-year-old Argentine defender. This move aims to renew the defense line and secure his position for the coming years, especially after his prominent role with the Argentine national team.

Romero expressed his dissatisfaction with Tottenham's current lack of ambition, emphasizing the need for significant investments to strengthen the team and ensure strong competition for the English Premier League title. If the English club does not commit to competitive plans, the player will officially submit a transfer request during the summer transfer window.

Romero's career highlights his status among the world's best defenders and his ability to maintain a high physical and technical level. Real Madrid is closely monitoring the situation and preparing to integrate the player to strengthen their defense.
