A Premier League giant is carefully watching the developments at Tottenham as they eye a summer raid for their captain, Cristian Romero.Romero’s future continues to be the source of much speculation ahead of the summer as the Lilywhites continue to sit on the brink of the relegation zone.The Tottenham captain is once again being heavily linked with a move to La Liga after Atletico Madrid’s failed approach last summer.In fact, it has even been claimed that Romero has a release clause in his contract which can only be activated by Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, but it turns out that they are not the only clubs in the race.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramMan United could make a move for Cristian Romero if Tottenham go downWhile reporting on Atletico’s pursuit of the centre-back, Marca have now suggested that there is one English club that the La Liga side would have to be wary of.The report says that Romero is also on the radar of Man United ahead of the summer, as the Red Devils look to reinforce their backline.It is suggested that Michael Carrick’s men are plotting a move for the World Cup winner in case Tottenham get relegated from the Premier League.The outlet also adds that while Spurs going down could have an impact on Romero’s price, a good World Cup in the summer for the defender could serve to increase his market value.Romero’s attitude at Spurs has been questioned this seasonGiven the perilous situation that Tottenham find themselves in, they need their leaders to step up, and it is difficult to argue that Romero has done that so far.The 27-year-old has regularly picked up cards and suspensions at crucial times across the season, while his performances have fallen short of the level he has shown in previous years.In fact, former Tottenham scout Mick Brown labelled Romero a ‘disgrace’ after his performance against Nottingham Forest.Brown accused the Spurs captain of being lazy and thinking that a relegation battle is beneath him, adding that the Lilywhites would be better off cashing in on the centre-back.READ MORE: Tottenham agree fee for Darim Tchadjobo: Eyes on the future amid relegation fearsThe post Premier League rivals could try and poach Tottenham captain Cristian Romero this summer appeared first on Spurs Web.
