Manchester United were interested in Cristian Romero this summer

Manchester United They were reportedly interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur ace Cristian Romero this summer, according to Argentine journalist Gaston Edul.

After a terrible campaign last season, the Red Devils opted to revamp the defensive line in the recently concluded season. transfer window. They initially tried to buy Jarrad Branthwaite from Everton and even submitted two official proposals.

But, unable to obtain the Englishman's signature, Erik the HagThe team opted to focus their attention on alternative options and eventually signed Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt.

However, writing about unknown, Education It has now been reported that Man Utd were also interested in Romero, but Spurs made it clear they were not willing to let him go as he is a key player in Ange Postecoglou's system.

Romero to Manchester United

However, the journalist assures that Paris Saint-Germain and real Madrid United have also shown interest in him this summer and could try to sign him next summer if he does leave. United will therefore have to overcome some stiff competition to lure Romero to Old Trafford.

Edul said:

“Cristian Romero has had interest from three teams in this transfer market: Manchester United, PSG and Real Madrid. Tottenham have responded that they would not sell him. He is essential for Postecoglou. They have not even put a price on him. He will have offers again in the next transfer market when Romero only has two years left on his contract.”

Romero is valued at around £55 million per Transfer market Spurs are therefore expected to demand a large sum to let their star player leave. Daniel Levy likes to play hardball to sell star players and he is expected to do the same with the South American.

It will therefore be extremely difficult for Ten Hag's team to secure his signature if they formalise their interest next year.

Romero is a top-class player and has already proven his qualities at the highest level by helping Argentina win the World Cup. Therefore, it would be a great stroke of luck for Manchester United if they sign him.

However, it will be interesting to see if the record Premier League The champions finally opt to make a concrete approach to sign him.
