Cristian Romero’s stance on his Tottenham future will be clear by the end of June amid growing links to La Liga, specifically Atletico Madrid.

According to Give Me Sport, Tottenham are waiting to hear from Cristian Romero on his stance over the future. The Argentine World Cup winner is seriously weighing his options as a move away from Spurs could be on the cards, and he will make his decision by the end of June amid links with Atletico Madrid.

There have been many hints in the past about Cristian Romero over his future at Tottenham. Had the North Londoners ended up trophyless last season and not participate in next season’s Champions League, the Argentine defender was guaranteed to leave, although the significant changes to the outcome at Spurs may have a bearing on his thinking.

Romero has been thinking about a switch to Spain for some time now, and the summer window does present a probable chance to make the move. Real Madrid were interested at one stage, but they have since signed Dean Huijsen, which could have put the brakes on any move for the Argentine, although there’s still big admiration from Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid CEO Miguel Angel Gil was expected to hold talks with Daniel Levy about Cristian Romero and find out the costs involved in any prospective deal. Romero is poised to leave Tottenham this summer, with Atletico Madrid likely to be seen as his preferred destination, with Spurs valuing him at a reported £65 million.

Tottenham are desperate to keep Romero, with the club eager to keep hold of their best players ahead of a crucial season with Champions League football. They are hoping that players like the £65 million-rated Tottenham mainstay could be persuaded to stay with Champions League football, although for the defender it could be about a change of scenery and probably playing under Diego Simeone.

Cristian Romero to decide on Tottenham future soon

Romero is not in a rush to decide his immediate future, as the report states the £65 million-rated Tottenham mainstay will take until the end of June to open up about his next move. There’s always the chance of him staying put at Spurs, with Daniel Levy ready to extend his contract with a pay rise on his £165,000-a-week salary.

However, the idea of playing away in Spain, especially at Atletico seems to be high on Cristian Romero’s mind. Hence, he could leave Spurs for a new challenge, and with two years left on his current deal, the Spanish giants would sense an opportunity to get the World Cup-winning defender at a reasonable price.
