Wait 5 sec.

It turns out that Atletico Madrid are pulling out all the stops to prise Cristian Romero away from Tottenham, with Diego Simeone leading their efforts, but the deal is not expected to be straightforward for the La Liga side.Among Thomas Frank’s priorities ahead of his first season in charge of Tottenham is to sort out the future of Romero, which appears up in the air.The Spurs vice-captain has two years left to run on his deal, and according to reports, Tottenham are doing everything in their power to tie Romero down to a new contract.However, Spurs are also thought to be exploring potential replacements for Romero as speculation linking him with a move to the Metropolitano Stadium continues to persist.(Credit: @paulnealon90 / Instagram) Atletico Madrid have been quoted a big fee for RomeroArgentine journalist Ruben Uria has now revealed what his sources are telling him about the Tottenham Hotspur man’s future and the Colchoneros’ efforts to bring him to the club.He explained that Simeone has been in regular contact with the World Cup winner in an effort to convince him to make the switch to the Spanish capital, but he revealed that Spurs have quoted a price of £50m for the 27-year-old.When asked about Romero’s proposed move to Atletico, Uria told El Desmarque: “I know that El Cholo calls Cuti Romero, almost every day, to see if he can convince him.“They’re going to ask for a lot. €58-€60m (£50m-£51.3m) for this player, which is a lot of money for a centre-back. But I don’t know why Atleti would go after him. We’ll see how the summer goes.”Fabrizio Romano offers Tottenham fans Cristian Romero hopeA few days ago, Fabrizio Romano said that Tottenham are very unlikely to sanction Romero’s sale this summer.He pointed out that at the start of a new project under Frank and with Spurs set to return to the Champions League, they do not want to lose a leader such as the Argentine.However, some other sources have claimed that Daniel Levy will cash in on Romero if he does not sign a contract extension this summer.READ MORE: Fabrizio Romano makes interesting claim about Heung-min Son and Ange PostecoglouThe post Tottenham star is getting phone calls every day to lure him into a £50m summer transfer appeared first on Spurs Web.
