Tottenham Hotspur target Cristian Romero has told Atalanta that he wants to join Spurs, according to 90min.
What’s the story?
It is being reported today that Romero has told his club Atalanta to get a deal done with Tottenham as soon as possible.
For a transfer to happen, Atalanta need to make the defender’s loan deal from Juventus permanent for £12 million and then sell him to Spurs.
Tottenham and Atalanta are in talks over a deal for the Argentina international defender, but Spurs are yet to meet the demands of the Serie A club.
Romero has reportedly agreed personal terms with Spurs.
Get a deal done now
Tottenham need to get a deal done now.
Pre-season training has started, and Spurs head coach Nuno needs to know which players will be in his squad.
Romero will need time to adapt to Nuno’s style and to develop an understanding with his teammates.
Moreover, Belgian defender Toby Alderweireld has left for Al-Duhail SC in Qatar.
Romero wants to join Spurs, Tottenham want to sign him, and Atalanta want to sell him.
It’s high time that Spurs accelerate talks with Atalanta and hammer out a deal.
Tottenham will be aiming to finish in the Premier League top four next season.
