Real Madrid are preparing to make a 2025 transfer offer for Tottenham defender Christian Romero.
Los Blancos are said to be tracking the Argentina international as part of a defensive rebuild in the Spanish capital.
Injuries in the back line and concerns about the rising average age of the defense have raised the need for a new enforcer.
Romero appeared as an option, after an impressive 12 months with the Premier League side, but there is a limit to what he can achieve in North London.
A move to Madrid would almost guarantee UEFA Champions League qualification, but Spurs will not entertain offers for the 26-year-old.
According to the latest from Football InsiderDespite being out of contract in 2027, Tottenham is ready to support an offer in 2025, to be able to push the asking price.
Injury problems for Romero's centre-back partner Micky van de Ven will further strengthen Tottenham's determination to keep Romero.
