Report: Tottenham plot Cristian Romero plan if the centre-back demands transfer exit
Tottenham Hotspur have decided what they will do this summer if Cristian Romero refuses to sign a new contract and demands a move to Atletico Madrid.
The speculation linking Romero with a move to Atletico Madrid continues to intensify, with the La Liga club expected to make advances towards the centre-back over the coming days.
However, over the last few days, it has been revealed that Tottenham are hoping to use two factors to persuade Romero to stay at N17.
One is the fact that he will get to play Champions League football at Spurs next season, and the other is to offer him a significant pay rise so that he can be convinced to tie his long-term future to the club.
What will Tottenham do if Cristian Romero demands to leave?
The Daily Mail have now said that Spurs are also planning for the possibility that their vice-captain will push to move to the Metropolitano Stadium.
Should Romero look to depart the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Lilywhites will demand £60m from Atletico for the World Cup winner.
It is explained that Romero is regarded at Tottenham as one of the club’s most important players and they will push for a premium to allow the centre-back to move to the Spanish capital.
This particular report does not say if Diego Simeone’s men would be willing to meet Tottenham’s expectations, but some sources from Spain have previously claimed that Atletico are hoping to sign Romero for under £40m.
One important Tottenham decision will dictate Romero’s future
This report from The Mail backs up what we have heard from other sources by stating that the Tottenham managerial situation will be a ‘key factor’ in the centre-back’s decision.
It was claimed by Argentine journalist Ruben Uria earlier this week that Romero will do everything possible to depart Spurs if Postecoglou is sacked.
With reports over recent days indicating that Postecoglou is extremely likely to depart Tottenham, it appears that the 27-year-old’s days at Hotspur Way might be numbered.
